The number of people in Briton who drink alcohol when they feel stressed has risen over the past several years.
The report says as many as five million people in the country are completely stressed out and a third of the work force is so stressed out by their job that their sleep is affected.
As a result, many find resolve in drinking so they can relax.
Sadly, the UK is one of the most stressed nations in all of Europe.
Money, family pressures, and long hours at work are all part of the problem as to why half of the British population say that they feel more stress than they did 5 years ago.
A survey of over 3,000 employees discovered that many feel so stressed before they even start work and six percent say they feel stressed all the time.
A third claimed to have called in sick because they were feeling stressed and 12 percent said they had quit a job altogether.
57 percent also said they had the need for a beer or a glass of wine when they got home to relax and get over their day.
A spokesperson for Medicash, which commissioned the study, said: "Worryingly, a third of Britons admitted in the survey to having deliberately drunk too much in a bid to relax and escape work stress."
