GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — We've all probably been there -- someone in the office just said "happy hour."
Now the team is headed out for after-work drinks, but a couple of beers at one of Grand Rapids' many breweries, pubs or distilleries can add up quickly.
According to a survey on Alcohol.org about one-third of American workers think work drinks with colleagues is good team bonding, leading people to spend more than $3,000 a year on after-work drinks.
Michiganders spend $1,741 a year on drinks with colleagues, according to the survey.
