4.  JUST THE FACTS:

Drinking Doesn't Have To Occur On the Job to Cause Problems in the Workplace

• Employees who drink heavily off the job are more likely to experience hangovers that cause them to be absent, show up late or leave early; to feel sick at work; to sleep on the job; to perform poorly; or to argue with their coworkers.

• Sixty percent of alcohol-related job performance problems are caused by people who are NOT alcoholics or problem drinkers; they are employees who occasionally drink too much at lunch or the night before.

• One study found that pilots were unable to perform adequately on a flight simulator 8-14 hours after drinking heavily.
