Abstract

To assess cross-work-site variation in the general drinking behaviors (on and off the job) of employees, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of managers (n = 7255) at 114 places of work located throughout the continental United States. The work-site mean for the total number of drinks consumed on a typical drinking day ranged from 1.4 to 3.17, a two-fold differential. Regression analysis showed an independent work-site effect, controlling for respondents demographics and type of work. This finding suggests that modifiable work-site characteristics could influence what employees drink on and off the job.
