Hungover?

"Third of staff 'hungover at desk'" is the headline but, of course, the headline is misleading. It's not that 1/3 of staff are hungover at their desks every day! No, surprisingly the story is that a mere 1/3 of workers have ever been hungover at their desks. That's what they are saying. Only 1/3 of people have come into work with a hangover at some point? Or should I say, only 1/3 of people said to the survey makers that they'd ever come into work with a hangover.

What's even more surprising about this result, from what is obviously a nation of liars, is that apparently only 35% of them felt it made them less productive!

Anyway this is a totally pointless survey, or at least the aspects of it reported by the BBC are totally pointless, because it doesn't specify how many times people have been hungover at work. It makes no distinction between people who might have only done it once or twice to people who might arrive at work hungover 3 or 4 times a week.
