I would imagine the press don't mention it as its still a massive part of their day to day lives,especially those that cover Westminster.
'The civil service ' is a big beast, let alone the public sector* lots of different cultures there. Although its reducing in society in general, especially amongst the young, there's still a work hard play hard type of culture where coming in with a hangover, summer BBQs, work dos are all accompanied with alcohol is still in place .
