A study released by the World Health Organization shows that employees who work 49 or more hours a week drink an extra glass of wine or beer, on average, compared to those who work nine-to-five. Previous research has associated working more than 48 hours per week with heavy or binge drinking.
It’s something more people are having to deal with. The current cost of living increases could force more families to work overtime or take a second job, which WHO says could increase binge drinking.
