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.

I mean most people at my job work from home and are busy taking user tickets (which need to be done within a time limit) from other companies because I do MSP work. Even if I wanted to socialize with my coworkers outside of shitposting (the posts never stop!) in the tech GC I couldn't. I'm just not deeply upset and lonely from lack of socialization due to having my needs met elsewhere. Even if I wanted to socialize with them I couldn't due to the structure of my work, I just don't find the situation depressing because I have others I socialize with.
