We examined whether employed alcoholics have more frequent work absences and higher rates of disability benefit payments than do nonalcoholic employees. Using data from a large Midwestern manufacturing firm for the years 1974 through 1987, we studied two groups: 1828 hourly employees who had received an International Classification of Diseases-9 diagnosis indicating chronic alcohol abuse and a group of employees with no history of alcohol problems, matched on age, gender, length of enrollment, and retirement status. The alcoholic group had average overall indemnity payments about twice that of the nonalcoholic group ($1272 per year per capita v $671). Nonoccupational indemnity payments and work absences were also much higher for alcoholics. However, no statistically significant difference between the groups was found for occupational-related disability.
我们研究了在职酗酒者是否比非酗酒员工有更频繁的工作缺勤和更高的残疾福利支付率。利用一家中西部大型制造公司1974年至1987年的数据，我们研究了两组人员：1828名小时工，他们的国际疾病分类-9诊断显示患有慢性酒精滥用，以及一组无酗酒问题史的员工，两组在年龄、性别、入职时间和退休状态方面进行了匹配。酗酒组的平均总赔偿支付约为非酗酒组的两倍（人均每年1272美元对671美元）。酗酒者的非职业赔偿支付和工作缺勤也高得多。然而，两组在与职业相关的残疾方面未发现统计学上的显著差异。
