Working longer hours may mean drinking more
By Patti Neighmond, NPR
People who try to reduce the stress of a long work day with a drink or two, or three, may be causing more health problems for themselves.
Around the world, people working long hours are more likely to drink too much, according to a study that analyzed data from 61 studies involving 333,693 people in 14 countries.
They found that people who worked more than 48 hours a week were 13 percent more likely to engage in risky drinking than people working 35 to 40 hours a week.
