Context:

  • Investigated the complex interplay between alcohol consumption and employment status.

  • Included 186 males and 74 females in the study cohort.

Purpose:

  • To explore the relationship between alcohol abuse and work.
  • To identify patterns in the onset of excessive drinking relative to work initiation.
