Socialising is good, but consuming large quantities of alcohol as part of that seems wasteful to me as you're also intoxicating (which is another word for poisoning) yourself at the same time, which probably means you have less time afterwards due to possibly sleeping in more the next day and even after that still not as inclined as you normally would be for doing anything else (perhaps like at least chores).
Then you're possibly putting on weight from drinking (having lots of beers definitely contributes to getting a "beer belly"), which is another potential health issue, which although can be mitigated by doing physical exercise (which you should be doing anyway), part of your time exercising is to just undo the "damage" from the drinking meaning you need to spend even more time exercising now.
Perhaps instead consider other healthier (or at least less unhealthy) forms of socializing, like board games, multiplayer computer games, outdoor physical group activities, etc.
As a business owner, I ultimately get more money if I manage to get in some extra work in on weekends or after hours, but between family, friends, children's extra murals and generally managing that I don't burn out, I absolutely don't have time to waste sitting around intoxicating myself for half the day.
Oh, and most people I know aren't proud to say they spent all day watching TV, although I confess that I used to do it on occasion when I was younger with less responsibilities. TV watching can be as good an activity as any when you need to take a break from anything mentally or physically challenging and the negative health effects do pale in comparison to the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.
