Increases the drinking. Significantly - by a multiple.

Considering the job has multiple happy hours each week where many people network and let loose I would say it does have an influence. I myself have drank the same amount since high school public accounting hasn’t made it worse or better it and I just let it continue. Doesn’t often affect my work or other parts of life negatively though. I’m not an alchie. 😁

I go out on average 1.5 times a week and every time I go out I probably have about 6-7 drinks. Used to be worse
