Infographic: 1 in 4 business travelers admit to binge drinking on work trips


A new study from travelers' emergency assistance group, On Call International, found 27% of employees fessing up to binge drinking while on business-travel excursions. Perhaps less surprisingly, another 11% of respondents copped to one-night stands while on the road and the company's dime. An additional 4% of business travelers said that they had spent time behind bars while they were supposed to be spending time in the board room.

The killjoys over at On Call International claim this sort of bad behavior can lead to damaged professional reputation, legal fees, and injury. So save the hangover-inducing behavior for bachelor parties and holiday vacations spent with your in-laws, and consider hitting the fitness center instead.
