It's not about the tech industry but the prevailing culture of the country and region. Drinks after work is extremely common in most places.


In the US, there is a huge portion of the country, if not majority, that must drive home from work. Women certainly can’t afford a couple drinks before driving, maybe even one, as it can impair their driving abilities and result in drunk driving. Probably true for many men too.


Any amount of alcohol can cause impairment in any person.


Yes, of course. And I would recommend abstaining from any driving after any amount of alcohol, but I meant sufficiently impaired that it causes you legal troubles.
