I have worked at my current job for 3 months. I've seen alcohol served 2-3 times during town hall style meetings. And yes, some people get drunk. I do not work at a tech company but rather at a cosmetics company, at least half of the employees are women.
I would not be surprised if there were a few lushes at the office who keep a bottle in their desks. Our culture is pretty laid back. But I imagine it would tighten up pretty quickly should an incident occur.
I wouldn't rule out serving alcohol at the office, but make sure everybody's really cool with each other first. If you had an instinctive reaction like "oh of course everyone's cool!", then they're not and you're about to find out what it's like to be Michael Scott.
