There is usually a Bar and Soft Drink s can be purchased at various times at sea, with Alcoholic Drinks being available when in port. (The US Navy does not usually serve alcoholic drinks.)

Wardrooms often have rules governing Etiquette . For example, on large ships, talking about professional business in frowned upon in peace time. Also, it is not considered a place to do work in, or meet with subordinates.
