As a young person who likes drinking, drinking with people from work is not something I find appealing at all. Also, bars are expensive in general so I rarely find myself going out to drink anyways, rather grab a bunch of cheap shit from the liquor store and host or bring it to a friend's house who is hosting.
Edit note: I also have never really felt the appeal of needing to make work friends or socialize hard with people from work. I don't outright reject it and I like most people I work with but I was also able to maintain most of my friends from middle school, high school, and college while also having hobby-specific friends I'm more likely to hang out with due to overlapping interests most of my classmates in college didn't become friends except from my language minor where the was a deep connected passion. I mostly found friends from that and luck with roommates during college and haven't really needed to make new friends since my junior year of college.
this will lead to communism
I get you’re taking the piss, but isn’t work under the western neoliberal service economy especially isolating? Not many people are working closely with a consistent set of people who all live in the same local area. Not saying you shouldn’t socialize with people at work though, please do that. Fight the atomizing forces of capital.
Me saying I don't feel the need to probably wasn't how I meant to word it. If I was to use an analogy it's like how sometimes you might not get the urge to eat but you haven't eaten anything for a day so know you should. I don't feel the hungry so mostly do so out of recognizing I should or out of service to others since I know not everyone has the same situational benefits I do.
Edit: I think my other reply to the comment above touches upon what you say here btw, outside of work meetings and occasionally going onsite to some company we have zero downtown to just interact unless it's a slow day or us shitposting in a GC we have during tickets.
