Do you drink a lot when you get home from work?

"Faking and suppressing emotions with customers was related to drinking beyond the stress of the job or feeling negative," Alicia Grandey, a psychology professor at Penn State, told Penn State News.
The research also found that the fake smiling and drinking link is especially strong in employees who work in jobs where they have one-on-one time with customers.
