Workaholics drink more

Hard work pays off, but it can also have a downside. Especially if you work too many hours a week.

Those who work more than 48 hours a week have a slightly higher chance of developing risky drinking. As a woman, your drinking is risky if you drink more than 13 drinks a week.

Complex dressing
The relationship between long working days and excessive alcohol consumption is present, but complex. Hard workers probably drink more to drink the stress away. Sleep problems and depression probably also play a role.

Shorter work week
Some people tend to drink a lot, for them shorter working hours will not automatically lead to less drinking. In addition, 6.3 percent of people who work less than 48 hours a week also develop high-risk alcohol use.
