Working 9 to 5 means it’s Miller Time for some

Typically frowned upon, drinking on the job is becoming more widespread during the coronavirus pandemic as more and more workers are telecommuting.
Really? Yeth.
Apparently, there’s data. Citizens in every state are admitting they've been throwing back a few while on the clock and under quarantine.
An interactive map on Alcohol.org, which conducted a survey of 3,000 telecommuting Americans, found that 67% of workers in Hawaii, 50% of those in Virginia and New Hampshire, 47% of those in Kansas and Idaho, 44% of those in Nebraska, 42% of those in Montana, and 38% of those in California and New York reported that they are drinking while working from home. For the rest of the country, the numbers are in the 20% to 30% range.
Their No. 1 choice of drink? Beer, according to the survey, which also found that one-fifth of workers stockpiled booze for the pandemic.
