Drinktrain
What better way for a group of tireless Apple code monkeys to relax after a week of hard work than to get smashed on the train ride home? According Drinktrain, not much. Thus, a tradition consisting of just that seems to have emerged from within Cupertino. Most Friday evenings, the last car on the CalTrain from Mountain View to San Francisco can be found chock full of inebriated Apple employees partying it up to such themes as: Chuck Norris Train, Snakes on a Mothaf*ckin Train, and my personal favorite; Mac OS X Pirate Localization Train. According to our anonymous source, Drinktrain participants get away with their shenanigans due to the fact that there is no open-container law that applies to CalTrain vehicles. By far the juiciest tid-bit of information in the official wiki is the fact that Drinktrain is continuously looking for new blood, even if it comes from those who don't work at the shiny white mother-ship. Who's up for some locomotive lunacy!?

I am! Too bad riding CalTrain would mean going away from my home.

Glad to see that there are some segments of the population where beer is still more popular than iPods. My faith in humanity is restored

The party isnt only on Fridays, It is almost every evening train return to SF. It should also be noted that the last train car is reserved for bicyclist.

Here in Japan where you can drink literally anywhere, this is a tradition that I was introduced to early. The best is the night trains from Osaka (well, Ogaki anyway) to Tokyo... get a group of like minded folks and some chuhais... oh man, good times.
