[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know any chefs that are not drunks with a blow habit to boot?

You can become an addict in any job but blue collar trade jobs are notorious for addiction. I worked with some real high end house painters, they were considered top shelf pros. The only rule was no drug or alcohol use while at the job but as soon as the crew hit the work van to drive back to staging it was cray cray.[/quote]

The highest rate of alcoholism by profession

Miners.
Construction Workers. 
Food Service Workers. 
Lawyers. 
Doctors / Nurses
Entertainment and the arts.[/quote]

Yeah…but what are the raw numbers.

There are 12.3MM restaurant workers and 11MM construction workers…which is way more than the other professions combined.

Around 10% of doctors and 20% of nurses struggle with substance abuse.

Lawyers and judges also have high rates of addiction.  20% of attorneys with alcohol, and sedatives.
 
Restaurant and hospitality workers , 19.1% abusing drugs and 11.8% binge drinking.

Construction workers 20.1% alcohol abuse.

Transportation workers, particularly truck drivers, amphetamine use is 21.3%.

Stress is to blame for health care workers misusing drugs, restaurants is the availability, no surprise truck drivers use amphetamines at high rates.

These numbers will vary a little bit but are mostly consistent.
