Sadly it's not just a US thing. A woman left a party that Kodak was having, went to ANOTHER BAR and drank more, crashed her car and got hurt on the way home. She sued Kodak and won and therefore, many companies (my former employer included) put a ban on staff events with ANY alcohol at all.
It really made the holidays suck around the workplace.
