The head of my department is really into building the team, which is nice, so initially started with putting in a team event once a quarter. So far so good, despite spending 5 days a week with my colleagues, I could handle do something every three months which was not work related (though some of them I'd prefer never to see, but you can't choose these things).
Then, it started being the occassional drinks. And then more than occassional drinks and now, last week there were drinks, there's a lunch this week, a dinner next week and so on. If you do make excuses, the boss is a bit about it all and makes sarcastic comments when you do come along "oh, you decided to grace us with your presence" type of thing. Thing is as well, it's not like everyone in the team is young, free and single. At least half have children (including the boss who has a newborn) and even so, it is nice to have a life outside of work.
AIBU thinking this is way, WAY too much?

to think that having a work outing every week/two weeks is a bit excessive?
