Many businesses glorify alcohol – as a feel-good social lubricant, a we're-all-in-this-together stress reliever – but it comes at a high cost to both the organization and the individual. It's time for leaders to take a sober look at the role of alcohol in workplace culture.

'This book is both life-enhancing and company-saving' - Sir Anthony Seldon, author, educator and cofounder of Action for Happiness

How much is alcohol costing your company?

It may not appear on the balance sheet, but the loss of productivity and the human suffering that it causes mean leaders can't afford to ignore this elephant in the board room.

Leaders are beginning to realize that by confronting the issue of alcohol they can liberate people from shame and stigma, boost wellbeing and productivity, support diversity initiatives and create positive, lasting culture change.

Let's stop bottling up trouble.
