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.

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