A new study by charity group Drinkaware shows that more than 500,000 people a day are turning up to work with hangovers. The study goes on to show that many struggle with their workload and often make mistakes while they have a hangover. They have now teamed up with BUPA to try and help find a solution and advise employers and employees on the impact of hangovers at work. We have managed to secure an interview with Dr Steve Herren of BUPA who tells us that "this is a serious concern to many employers, and with the World Cup approaching, we expect the problem to get worse if left unchecked.". Dr Steve Herren goes on to say that "this is a personal crusade of mine since I heard about it last week. I had no idea it was such a widespread problem and I wanted to get to the cause of this and do my bit to eradicate the problem.". During his extensive research into the problem, Steve believes he has almost identified the common problem and has "narrowed it down to just a possible two key causes" and believes he has "almost identified which of the two is at fault. Unfortunately, I don't anticipate the final results to be in before the World Cup starts so as a cautionary measure, I have issued a statement which I hope should at least help to clarify things till the results come through and we can solidly identify the root cause of hangovers." Following is the statement issued by Dr Steve Herren of BUPA. "Regularly coming into work with a hangover could be a sign of alcohol, or mental health problems."
