On average, Virginians spent about $3,200 every year on after-work drinks.

That's the equivalent of about 650 beers.

Virginia beat the national average by a couple of hundred dollars. 

Most workers spent about $3,000 dollars in a year on after-work drinks.

Kentucky workers topped the survey list: they spent on average $5,500 per year on drinks with co-workers.

In Maine, workers spent the least. They only average about $1,400 every year on getting drinks after work.

The survey says about one-third of workers believe sharing a beer with co-workers improves comradery and it helps them get to know their peers.
