I guess that heavily depends on the country/state you live in. Here in germany we actually have a bar in our space and our coworkers can just grab any drinks they want (including beer) if they drop a € into a jar. i think in most places there's also a big difference between offering alcohol to the public vs. to a closed group (coworkers, office).
