This is stupid and inaccurate.

Many people work in such environments who don’t drink excessively.

And there are also many people who work in different areas who do drink excessively.

The DMV must have a very sober staff.

Doesn’t explain Hillary though - she doesn’t even try to force a smile, yet she’s drunk as a skunk.

Even if an honest study correlation does not always infer causation. I doubt seriously if you can possibly know all the factor sufficiently do such a study.

Most positive contacts with the public at the DMV would have to be faked. People come in with dumb questions. My favorite in NYC was where a girl in front of me asked the DMV person if she could have the “easy test,” because her friends had told her there was an “easy test.” He didn’t roll his eyes but just told her there wasn’t an “easy test” - so this means he’s an alcoholic?

Sorry, but this is just a dumb study and I’m not sure exactly what their objective was in doing it.

Reminds me of the “perfesser” whose work on eating behavior was retracted because he made it up.

I never fake a smile, nor do I hide my annoyance at dumb people (well sometimes on that one - there are just too many stupid people out there).

I have several drinks every night before dinner. Which I thoroughly enjoy.

Take that alcohol Nazis.

Doing one’s job is too hard. Must get drunk and blame society

My wife just told me she heard of a study which said exactly the opposite.

Any headline that has the words “experts say” or “study shows” should be automatically disregarded.

I love my job.
I can’t wait to go to work each day.
I like the people I work with.
We have a lot of laughs while doing heavy technical stuff.

They've got cause and effect reversed.

Anyone who disagrees and has a drinking problem might want to examine that :-)

“It wasn’t just feeling badly that makes them reach for a drink.”

People who say “badly” when they should say “bad” make me want to reach for a drink. What do they have — neuropathy in their fingertips?

Don’t Drink.
Don’t Smile.

Then you’ll be ok.
