Success

Chief executives of big companies and public sector organisations are coping with their stressful positions by drinking the equivalent of almost three bottles of wine a week, new research shows.

Men holding the highest positions drink an average of almost 23 units a week – more than 11 medium (175ml) glasses of wine.

Their consumption exceeds the total recommended weekly limit for alcohol of 21 units and suggests many businessmen and managers may suffer ill health as a result.

Doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professional men are also knocking back above average amounts of alcohol – 20 units a week – according to figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) released yesterday.

Overall, they show that across all social classes about 10 million people are drinking more than the recommended weekly maximum of 21 units for a man and 14 for a woman.
