That’s the intriguing headline in news from the Department of Health. But the reality behind the headline is not so amusing.
The news story goes on to say that English drinkers are vowing to vow to cut back next month after holiday boozing when they knocked back an average eight alcoholic drinks every day.
More than a quarter of people admitted to the Know Your Limits campaign that they drank three times or more than usual whilst away this summer. As a result, says the DoH, September is looking like the new January across England, with holidaymakers vowing to cut back on their return this month.
The problem for employers is that alcohol consumption seems to be on the rise in general, with over ten million adults in England regularly exceeding the recommended daily limits.
Are we heading for the day when compulsory breath tests are carried out on employees before they can get behind the wheel of company vehicles or operate machinery?
