Oh yes... this is a really lame concept.
I want to work with people who are 'not assholes'. That's important. Otherwise, I don't care if they're just like me or whatever 'culture fit' means.

That's what culture fit means. It's a more polite way of saying "Not an Asshole"
Things like valuing collaboration, how blunt feedback is during code reviews, whether tech leads coaching and spending time developing junior colleagues is valued or viewed as wasted time, how open a company is with finances, where company events are on the continuum between a couple glasses of wine vs kegs of beers where people get wasted, etc.
This should have zero bearing on hiring people. How much they drink is their own business as long as they don't get rowdy or harass colleagues or something.
Among other things, are you going to, say, not hire someone who's LDS because they don't drink at all?
