Do jobs still allow a budget for keeping drinks in the office for business purposes and schmoozing? Or do you have to buy your own now?

Definitely. You want HR to know what they're dealing with (a busy body who worries about nothing)
I don't drink if I'm working afterwards, but I used to have the occasional drink at lunch if my afternoon was going to be spent on something mindless. I knew, and know, what I can handle.
