has several benefits, I do think it is better to keep work and life separate.

First,
Linking Words
this
enables people to have more time to discuss tasks that have not been finished during the day, and Linking Words

may make meeting business targets easier. Linking Words

such
as family commitments and hobbies, and not nurturing these can make life meaningless. Linking Words

In conclusion, I would argue that it is enough to meet coworkers in the scope of the company, and the remaining hours should be used for other purposes in life.Linking Words
