Employee alcohol use and patterns of drinking in/or related to the workplace are influenced by community and individual factors including:
- age, gender, physical and mental health;
- mental and emotional state including motivation for drinking e.g. stress relating to life, social, economic, personal circumstances;
- cultural and/or religious norms and beliefs;
- pre-existing attitudes, beliefs and behaviours regarding alcohol use;
- values, behaviours and expectations of family members; and
- social and cultural norms of the wider community e.g if you live in a community where harmful alcohol consumption is the norm, there may be higher workplace risks when compared to communities with low-risk alcohol consumption.
