Top Five Jobs Most Likely to Drive You to Drink (And Do Drugs)

Let's face it, work is stressful. But there are certain jobs with higher percentages of people who drink or do drugs. We're going to take a look at the top 5 in each category.

The Washington Post, compiled the list using information from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (that's a mouthful). Miners are the biggest drinkers while folks who work in the hotel and restaurant business are more into drugs.

Here's a look at the top five jobs with workers who reportedly drink heavily:

1. Mining
2. Construction
3. Hotels/restaurants
4. Arts and entertainment
5. Utilities

I suppose radio falls under the arts and entertainment category, but I don't think a few ICA's from Newburgh Brewing Company every once in a while counts as 'heavy drinking'. These lists are based off the percentage of the population that works in the field that reported to drinking 5 or more drinks on 5 or more occasions within the last 30 days.

And now a list of professions that are most likely to use drugs:

1. Hotels/restaruants
2. Arts and entertainment
3. Management
4. Information
5. Construction
