Do people actually gets trashed and wasted with their team though? Usually I find that there is a "work" portion where people head to the bar after work and have a few beers and get buzzed and talk about work. And then people leave and people break off into groups and the "friends" portion of the night starts, when you might actually get drunk with your group of friends from work. But there is no illusion that there is any connection to work at that point.
