0 Comments | AFP, December, 2007
LONDON (AFP) — The morning after the night before is the main reason in Britain for employees calling in sick, a study published Wednesday showed.
One in five workers opting to stay in bed do so because of over-indulgence, according to 500 individuals surveyed by Unum insurance company. Scots are the most likely to take sick leave in this way.
"These figures reinforce well-documented and worrying trends that people's drinking habits are impacting on thr workplace," said Unum's chief medical officer, Professor Michael O'Donnell.
"In 2005/06, there were 187,640 NHS hospital admissions among adults aged 16 and over with diagnosis specifically related to alcohol. This has more than doubled in the last ten years."
