Employees who work in the public eye who force themselves to smile for customers or hide feelings of annoyance may be susceptible to heavy drinking after hours, according to a new study. Researchers at Penn State and the University of Buffalo studied the drinking habits of employees who work in the public view. The study found a link between those who fake positive emotions or suppress feelings like eye rolling with heavier drinking after their shifts ended. Instead, the more they have to control negative emotions at work, the less they are able to control their alcohol intake after work." "The relationship between surface acting and drinking after work was stronger for people who are impulsive or who lack personal control over behavior at work," said Grandey.
