I do them often. It's quite enjoyable.

I don’t see the problem here.
I love when I get to go drink with co-workers and the company pays

why? some companies want to foster better relationships amongst employees
Just my opinion, but integrating spouses/SOs into the group does help to foster better relationships amongst employees. My wife's company does that, so I get invited to all of her office social functions, and they do pick up the tab, and I feel like it probably does help the work relationships when they all know me as well.
I understand not wanting to pick up double the tab, which might really be the case, but to say they aren't allowed, that's dumb.

This is an opportunity to relax and shoot the shite with your co-workers. You get to hang out with your wife all the time.
I spend more awake time with my coworkers than my husband, so I'd rather go to happy hour with him.
We don't have quarterly happy hours, but we have works parties a few times a year and its pretty much expected that your husband/wife attend the event as well.

your breath smells like poo, no woman wants to make out with you.

The new job I work is a small office and has quarterly happy hours where the company picks up the tab.
It's not to promote sexual relations within the company.
The owner of the company is setting himself up for a lawsuit if one of the employees gets a DUI.

This seems like a very weird question to bring to the OT.

eta: sexual harassment still applies in this environment. It's considered a work function if on the company dime. So be careful.

I don't disagree; but I also don't see it as entirely unreasonable or out of the ordinary for a boss to want to get his employees into a social setting where they have to interact with each other without anyone else around

Do you just sit around and think up stupid shite to start threads about?

No shite. A big reason I don't mind commuting is how family-oriented my company is.
EVERYTHING we do outside the plant involves spouses/guests and almost always kids.

Team building, fosters a better culture with people you spend more awake hours with than your SO. You are the reason this is necessary.

My company's Leadership team has a quarterly off site retreat. For example, last time we had a suite at the local minor league baseball team's ballpark. We worked from 9a-1p, then everyone stayed around and drank beer and watched the ballgame. THE HORROR!!!

What you think about these people?
