A new study has found nearly 700,000 Australians turned up to work under the influence of alcohol last year, The Herald Sun reports.
The 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey also claims men are three times more likely than women to turn up to work drunk.
Alcohol isn't the only substance making its presence felt in the workplace; it's claimed around 270,000 workers went to work under the influence of illicit drugs.
In some good news the survey found all figures on drug and alcohol use in the workplace were down slightly from the 2004 study.
