do you have a stiff drink after a long day?

You are probably not the only one, because research shows that there are more people workalcoholics. Especially those who are 55 or more hours per week working, refresh themselves frequently with a bottle of beer. Where do they find the time to drink, it's not known.

But do they drink. It may namely as no surprise that long hours lead to more stress, exhaustion and mental problems. No wonder grab some employees in a similar situation to the bottle. Thirteen percent of workaholics is also an alcoholic.
