Follow on Google News | A fifth of Londoners have gone to work drunkA poll by a newly launched online London nightlife guide has revealed that 19% of Londoners aged 21-26 have gone to work still drunk from the night before; whilst just over a quarter have gone into work having had just four hours of sleep.
By: Shannon Haigh When asked, ‘Do you regularly have a night out when you have work the following day?’ more than half, 57%, of the people asked said that they did. A further 19% also admitted that they had been into work still drunk from the night before, and 7% had driven to work knowing they were probably still over the limit. The people who took part in the poll were also asked about their sleeping habits after a night out, when they had work the next day. 26% claimed to have been into work after just four hours of sleep; whilst 8% said they had been to work following a completely sleepless night. 14% of respondents admitted that they had previously overslept and arrived late to work after a night out; and 2% said that they had got into trouble at work for reasons relating to a night out. The majority of respondents, 72%, admitted that they had been to work with a hangover; of which 11% had been sick during their working hours as a result of heavy drinking the night before. 21% had also been for an alcoholic drink during their lunch break in the past, and 17% said they regularly went on nights out with their colleagues.

The best thing to do if you know you have to work the next day is to seek out something in London that doesn’t require excessive boozing to be fun. Have a couple of pints and catch some fresh live music, wonder around a night market, go see a bit of improv comedy. You don’t have to get wrecked to enjoy yourself in London because there’s something interesting happening every night.” LINK http://www.SwisticMing.com ENDS For more information please contact Shannon Haigh of 10 Yetis Public Relations on 01452348211 or shannon@10yetis.co.uk.
