Computers drove me to drink
 

As if I needed an excuse


A survey by a UK charity says that computers are forcing Brits to turn to the bottle to cope with stress.


The poll, by Developing Patient Partnerships, showed more than a third of men and a quarter of women have a drink to cope with the stress of crashing PCs and working with help desks.

Almost one third said IT-related problems were a major source of stress. More than 27 percent of men and 23 percent of women said they would light a cigarette in such situations.

However, a large chunk said they really needed a drink, although it was not clear if they were actually answering the survey when they said that. More at the British Broadcasting Corporation. Here. Hic.
