After a long day at work, do you like to unwind with an adult beverage?  Let go of the guilt.  A new study shows that your slave driving bosses are responsible for your excessive alcohol consumption.

According to a recent article published in the British Medical Journal, people who work more than 40 hours per week drink more and drink more often than those who put in a standard workweek.

What's more, the research indicates that even highly skilled, highly paid employees have a tendency to overindulge after putting in overtime.  In other words, the branch manager is just as likely to wrap up their long day with a bottle of red wine as the manual laborer is to crack open a few beers after their shift.

Next time your boss asks if your hungover in the morning, just level with him.  Yes, you are hungover and it's all his fault.
