Considering how much hangovers cost countries and companies, not to mention the pain people suffer, you would think someone would have come up with a cure by now. But so far, no luck, though it’s not for want of trying.
Numerous age-old remedies and commercial products are available—everything from herbal drinks to IV(静脉的)drips—and they are all put to good use during the holiday season. But, do they work? And what is the cost to employers of all that recovery downtime? The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that excessive drinking costs the US economy more than $ 220bn annually—or about $ 1.90 a drink. Some 72% of the costs stem from lost workplace productivity, the CDC said.
The problem goes beyond the US. In Australia, sick days will cost up to $ 1. 6bn in lost productivity in the last two weeks of the year, with some 10% of the workers polled planning to take up to three sick days off to recover from their celebrations, according to a survey of 1,000 workers by Recoverlyte, an effervescent(冒泡的)powder made by Sanofi-Aventis Healthcare Pty to "help your body recover from a late night out." Of those who did make it to work the day after an office Christmas party, more than a quarter conceded they were functioning at only 50% productivity.
In the UK, researchers estimated holiday-season hangovers cost businesses almost £260m. The survey of 1,500 people, conducted for the web travel site lastminute. com, found that about 25% of employees work for fewer than four hours the day following an office Christmas party and another 20% of workers will call in sick.
Currently, there is no effective hangover cure available, according to Joris Verster, a professor at Utrecht University’s Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences and an author of numerous scientific papers exploring possible hangover cures. "The only way to prevent hangovers is to consume alcohol in moderation."
The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the US National Institutes of Health, shares that view. "The NIH is not putting money into treating hangovers. What we’re trying to do is to prevent people from drinking so much they get a hangover," said George Koob, NIAA’s head. [br] Which of the following is NOT affected by excessive drinking and hangover?
选项
A、Productivity.
B、Hours of working.
