"Offcial statistics on alcohol consumption show that those in employment (especially in
“offce” professions) are more likely to drink during the week and also to a greater extent
than those who are unemployed or economically inactive (please visit the
Socioeconomic groups and alcohol section of the Alcohol Knowledge Centre for
more information). Survey data also show that in recent years, an increasing proportion
of working people have been drinking above recommended guidelines.
This invariably has had harmful implications on the health and social behaviour of
employees and employers in the workplace; an Impact Assessment paper on minimum
pricing calculated lost productivity due to alcohol in the UK at about £7.3bn per year.1
This
factsheet addresses these concerns and their causes, examines the underlying risk
factors, and looks at solutions for dealing with the issue of problem drinking at work....

..."Up to 17 million working days are lost each year because of alcohol-related sickness and
the cost to employers of sick days due to drink is estimated at £1.7bn.1
The total annual
cost to the economy is estimated to be £7.3bn (2009/10 prices).2
A recent study produced by Lancaster University claimed to have found 'a robust positive
causal link between opening hours and absence' in the last decade, stating that relaxing
licensing laws for bars to remain open for longer led to a similar increase in absenteeism.3
This is supported by recent survey evidence on professional conduct in relation to alcohol
misuse. A 2007 report commissioned by Norwich Union Healthcare produced the following
fndings on alcohol-related workplace issues:4
• A third of employees admitted to having been to work with a hangover
• 15% reported having been drunk at work
• 1 in 10 reported hangovers at work once a month; 1 in 20 once a week
• Work problems resulting from hangovers or being drunk at work included diffculty
concentrating; reduced productivity; tiredness and mistakes
• The majority of employers (77%) interviewed identifed alcohol as a major threat to
employee wellbeing and a factor encouraging sickness absence
Among workers, recent data on alcohol-related mortality by socioeconomic classifcation
shows that routine workers are at greater risk of dying from an alcohol-related disease
than those in higher managerial and professional jobs.
Men whose jobs are classifed as “routine”, such as van drivers and
labourers, face 3.5 times the risk of dying from an alcohol-related disease
than those in higher managerial and professional jobs. Women in
“routine” jobs, such as cleaners and sewing machinists, face 5.7 times
the chance of dying from an alcohol-related disease than women in higher
professional jobs such as doctors and lawyers."
