Had to jump in here. Just because you have a person preference of complete sobriety whilst working shouldn't mean it's a policy for everyone.
For example:
• I work best in the early mornings - does this mean everyone should come in from 5am?
• I find it hard to work at a stand-up desk - nobody can use stand up desks anymore, sorry.
• I feel drained after going to the gym before work - nobody can go to the gym before work, it will stifle your creative thinking.
• Wearing long pants (versus shorts) makes me uncomfortable (i.e. unproductive) - no more long pants in the office.
If they make me unproductive - fine. That's me. As for making it a company issue - tell me which of the above options go beyond personal preference.
