sho3k488yIn the Netherlands we have the 'vrijdag middag borrel' (Friday afternoon drink) it's just having a few beers at the end of a business week with your coworkers.
But of course depends on your boss -
We've got beer in the fridge but may only drink it after 5:30 pm (usual end of a workday) who's is shit because even if I come in early I may not drink a beer - and I come in early often on Fridays.

Plinn1068yNot really in France. You may do that with small group of colleagues you really appreciate...

DROPFROM108yWe have Friday afternoons (after 3pm) where they unlock a keg of beer that stays in the kitchen along with bowls of crisps/sweets to spend a bit of time with colleagues/departments you don't usually speak with.
It's pretty nice, I'm based in the UK but it's an American company that try to emulate the Google method.
I would definitely say the relaxed environment helps some and not others! -
In Berlin, our beer fridge is always full and after 6pm, we drink and optionally continue working

@chrisalexthomas that's the thing, no one here wants to stay longer than 5:30 (we've only got 30 min lunch break) as he wants to get home to his family

I don't know how it works in other countries, but in Hungary the best workplace where you can have a beer and good time with your colleagues after work. Is it same thing at your country? :)
