* The Tayledras in the ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' books are explicitly stated to be this at one point. They fight horrible magic-born monstrosities and purify magically-twisted land in little scout teams where one wrong move could get them all horribly killed... and live in little glens of eternal summer where they throw wild parties whenever they have an excuse.
** The titular Heralds aren't far off. While a Herald lives and breathes Duty and most of them suffer SamaritanSyndrome, off-duty they tend to be "hedonistic and anything but chaste". As with the Tayledras, when Heralds ''can't'' get a certain amount of explicit time off, e.g. Vanyel, they tend to suffer for it; in extreme cases they permanently bond with someone calmer and more stable who can help them relax.

Many students bond and blow off steam in bars after classes or exams, or engage in recreational drug use. The legal profession is often no different. The downside of course is that substance abuse is a common issue among the profession, and concern for many lawyers who are or risk becoming a FunctioningAddict.
