What I think @A2 is trying to say is "Beverage" - go into the office when there's a happy hour.

At least twice a week, and especially on Fridays

Never

Only on occasional Fridays where I know friends or my team are in the office or there's a fun event. Other than that, it's a waste of a good outfit/makeup because no one else is there either.

Bever

Well... My office does have a fully stocked kitchens with beer and wine... So there is an incentive to go in. But, I still don't :/
