TV certainly makes it seem like alcohol is a requirement if you have a high up position or apparently a higher stress job. I don't think it's a good thing to promote though. Just like smoking was made to look like the cool thing to do. Contrary to popular belief alcohol doesn't usually solve any problems but can make them worse. Recovering alcoholics don't normally like being around people who are drinking. Seeing people drinking on TV as a way to reduce stress or solve problems might cause people trying to stay dry to think it's OK to drink if you had a tough day.
