I find day drinking followed by a red eye to have a deleterious effect on my sleep. So yeah, I slam click instead of slam beers at 7am when I have to fly all night in 23 hours. I never understood the perceived obligation to force oneself into a social situation one would not engage in if one were in another profession. Because the 20 something FAs would CERTAINLY hang out with us 40+ something pilots if we were 9-5 accountants not picking up the tab. Yeah. I guess I'm a "non-pilot pilot" in that I actually enjoy hanging out and sleeping with my own wife. But that's just me. If the company ink is your thing dip your pen right in.

By the way, all my classmates were at the same hotel and we socialized just fine outside of a company compound.

Spend some quality time with the CBB for a list of all the "thou-shalt-nots" that could easily happen eating, sleeping, drinking, and fraternizing on company property. If you think that stuff can't and won't be used against you if the company desires, you might be a bit naive to hold an ATP.

Sounds like you enjoyed your time there. I think it will be just fine for recurrent, and I'm awfully glad I got to do all my long training events in places with multi-room suites and a kitchen to keep my own 6-pack.
