In Britain about 9% of males experience alcohol problems at work. Although heavy drinkers have a higher rate, the majority of work problems occur in light or moderate drinkers as these are more numerous. Some data are given on impairment of skills, hangover rates, alcohol-related accidents and lunchtime drinking. Due to extrapolation from the present limited data, there are great difficulties in calculating economic costs; estimates have varied from pounds 60 million to pounds 2 billion a year. In view of the human and economic costs a number of bodies are now making efforts to encourage alcohol policies in the workplace. Further research is required on many aspects of the problem.
在英国，约9%的男性在工作中存在饮酒问题。尽管酗酒者的比例更高，但大多数工作中的饮酒问题发生在轻度或中度饮酒者身上，因为这部分人数量更多。文中给出了一些关于技能受损、宿醉率、与酒精相关的事故以及午餐时间饮酒的数据。由于从目前有限的数据进行推断，计算经济成本存在很大困难；估计每年从6000万英镑到20亿英镑不等。鉴于人力和经济成本，一些机构目前正在努力推动职场饮酒政策。这个问题的许多方面都需要进一步研究。
