Question

【題目】 Too much work and too much wine go together like biscuits and cheese, a new international study finds.

Employees who work more than 48 hours a week are 11% more likely to over consume wine than those who work a standard week, Finnish researchers say.

The study looked at more than 300,000 people in Australia, Europe and North America. No differences were seen between men and women, says the study.

Risky wine consumption is considered as more than 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 drinks a week for men. About 20% of Australians drink at travels that put them at the risk of life time harm from injury or disease.

Drinking wine can affect the liver(肝臟)or cause brain damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and increases the risk of many cancers.

Study author Marianna Virtanen said while wine might help reduce the stress of working long periods of time, risky consumption could lead to difficulties in the workplace, such as poor performance.

The European Union Working Time Directive makes sure that workers in EU countries have the right to work no more than 48 hours a week, including overtime.

"But many people, for example well-educated managers and professionals, work much longer hours to achieve faster promotions, income increases, and more control over work and employment, ” said Prof. Virtanen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

In Australia, it's recommended that healthy men and women drink no more than two standard drinks a day.
