I really would have thought this number would have been higher. I personally would never drink on the job I work with danger all day long, i.e. high voltages, sharp hazards, crushing hazards....etc....to drink on the job for me could mean death... but most people don't so I guess that number surprises me a bit....

AHA!!!!! I would have expected as much.....

Actually I do.

Before hit'n the streets for my nitely routine of saving the woman and children on the dangerous streets I have me a few .. I'm able to kick butt better while drinking.


I get a kick ass high

I've never been drunk on the job. I was actually surprised the percentage was as high as that.

I've turned up to teach still very badly hungover, but not often.

My brother in law had quite a few cans of beer before going to work his security job last night and ended up getting beaten up. I don't know if the two were linked though.

The strongest stuff I drink at work is Mountain Dew.

Does this count boozie lunches? Or does it only include drinking whilst at work?

I've done many million boozie lunches and been pissed on return tothe office.

we drink wine if not more fairly often in my office. my boss sometimes gets high during work, and usually wants me to go with her when she does, but i can't function while high, so i don't

I actually bothered to read the article and it does include lunchtime boozing. How the hell can it be only 7%?

Everyone in my office has had a boozy lunch (the ones that drink that is i.e 95% of them). I have one every 1 or 2 weeks. I had 2 last week!

If you did this survey in Australia I reckon about 80% of office workers would say they drank during work hours (at least occaisonly i.e xmas, birthdays etc).
