Binge Drinking by Occupation Groups among Currently Employed U.S. Adults in 32 States, 2013-2016.

Excessive alcohol use, including binge drinking (i.e., ≥5 drinks (males); ≥4 drinks (females), per occasion during the past 30 days), is associated with work-related injuries, absenteeism, and lost productivity.
