On the booze, but not feeling drunk: 9% of employees drink at work
NEARLY one in 10 people usually use alcohol while they are at work, the first study of drug and alcohol use in Australian workplaces has found.
Many people mistakenly believed drinking at work would not damage their performance, said Ken Pidd, the deputy director of the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction at Adelaide’s Flinders University.
While his study of more than 9800 workers found nearly 9 per cent of people said they ”usually” used alcohol at work, only 5.6 per cent said they had been ”under the influence”.
