Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like Thursday nights are indeed a popular choice for enjoying drinks, especially within the finance community. For instance, during a sophomore summer internship at an EB in London, it was expected that everyone in the front office would go out on Thursday nights. This tradition involved heading down to a local pub to 'pregame' before moving on to clubs, indicating that Thursday nights were not just for casual drinks but were a significant social event. This aligns with your preference for choosing Thursday nights over Fridays, possibly due to the demanding nature of the workweek leaving many feeling too exhausted by Friday. So, you're definitely not alone in this shift towards Thursday night as a preferred time for socializing and enjoying a drink.

Only time I prohibit myself from drinking is when I’m at home alone on a weekday and there’s no game on. In any other scenario, it’s game on.

 

Today has been a rough start already. Looking forward to a few drinks and poker later.

Friday + weekends unless client event or sports game. 
 

usually do 2/3 days on the weekend/fr and then torture myself at the gym for the 3rd while eating whatever veggie bullshit my gf made in the fridge.
