A survey was performed in 1989 by the Institute of Social Medicine and the Austrian Workers Compensation Board(AUVA) to investigated the alcohol problem in 277 factories in which the workers were exposed to hot and dusty atmospheres. As a result of the findings, a further study was undertaken by the same research team to investigate one possible solution to the problem of alcohol consumption at work in a paper-producing factory, predominantly under hot and dusty conditions. The study was well prepared by many activities in the field of health promotion. In this trial, an electrolyte drink especially suited for heat-burdened work places, was introduced for three months as alternative drink to alcohol. Before and after this period the employees answered a questionnaire regarding their alcohol consumption and any changes in consumption habits. One of the main results of the study was the significant increase in electrolyte drink consumption and decrease in wine consumption although that of beer remained practically unchanged. The offered electrolyte drink was accepted as alternative drink by many workers and represents a practical example of health promotion at the place of work. This study should encourage other factories and businesses to experiment with electrolyte drinks especially suited to their particular conditions in an attempt to overcome the problem of alcohol consumption during working hours.
1989年，社会医学研究所和奥地利工人赔偿委员会（AUVA）对277家工人暴露于炎热多尘环境的工厂进行了一项调查，以研究酒精问题。根据调查结果，同一研究团队进行了进一步研究，以调查在一家造纸厂解决工作时饮酒问题的一种可能解决方案，该厂主要处于炎热多尘的条件下。该研究通过健康促进领域的许多活动进行了充分准备。在这次试验中，一种特别适合热负荷工作场所的电解质饮料作为酒精的替代饮料被引入了三个月。在此期间前后，员工回答了一份关于他们饮酒情况和饮酒习惯变化的问卷。该研究的主要结果之一是电解质饮料消费量显著增加，葡萄酒消费量减少，尽管啤酒消费量几乎保持不变。提供的电解质饮料被许多工人接受为替代饮料，是工作场所健康促进的一个实际例子。这项研究应鼓励其他工厂和企业试用特别适合其特定条件的电解质饮料，以试图解决工作时间饮酒的问题。
