It depends a great deal on where you work, but it’s definitely not unknown. It’s not normally an all-evening heavy-going night though, much as Britain loves a binge drink that’s usually saved for the weekends
It used to be more common. Back in the 90s when I was working in an office we’d often head to the pub for Friday lunchtime and roll in later in the afternoon. Going along for a free lunch and a few beers with visiting sales reps was also pretty common.
I couldn’t do it now - the thought of nursing a proto hangover before I’ve even got home seems insane in retrospect. God knows how much productivity used to be wasted due to work time tipples.

That fits with my personal experience that it tends to be older members of the places I’ve worked at that suggest and/or actually go for it
