I know this is about a week late, but my friend just sent me a video from about 20 years ago! We used to have an Easter beer hunt every Easter night. We would buy about 20 cases of 7 oz. Miller bottles and paint pastel colors on them the day before. Then we would meet at somebody's house, with a big enough yard and cool neighbors, and proceed with the hunt. The spouses/girlfriends would hide the beer bottles, while we anxiously waited inside! Then it was mayhem as everyone ran outside to find beer! The rules were, you had to drink a beer as soon as you found it, then put the empty bottles in your basket, and look for another. We had refs who were watching to make sure you didn't pour anything out, or puke! Instant disqualification! We had about three rounds of this action! Don't worry, we had another rule where all participants turned in their keys as they signed the tote board, or they didn't play! We drank heavy and responsible at the same time!

Richard, FYI - "Miller" is not real beer. Sorry. Still, that sounds like a pretty funny game. I am a little puzzled why people in Germany don't do that. They do drink heavily on Easter, as on every other occassion. Easter - drinking - Easter Egg hunting - Easter Beer hunting. It never occurred to me. But it's so obvious.
I think that, as Adam already pointed out, as long as it does not affect their actual work performance, "real people" should be allowed to do whatever they like. It simply doesn't matter what they do outside their work hours as long as they show up for work on time and perform. If they don't, then it's a work problem, if they do, then everything else, including whatever problems may or may not happen outside their work hours, are private matters and/or problems. Everything else is just sanctimonious Mormon or non-Mormon crap.
Speaking of which, I played in a concert in a Mormon church on Easter weekend, and damn! are these people screwed up in their heads, more than any amount of alcohol could cause. I think it's pretty ironic they don't allow drinks considering that Jesus as portrayed in the bible actually *provided* alcohol to happy people, and the very obvious fact that some serious substance abuse must have played part in the creation of their cult. But we aren't supposed to discuss religion here. Just wanted to mention that on the side. But then, we were allowed to discuss Tom Cruise's scientology placenta eating, so I guess that should be OK, considering either aren't real religions anyway.
