MILAN – Journalists and media staff are the biggest coffee addicts in the professional world, according to a survey led by the UK press release distribution company Pressat.
The firm surveyed 10,000 workers in a variety of fields. 85 percent of the sample said they drink at least three cups of coffee a day, and nearly 70% admitted that their working ability would be affected without a daily mug of coffee
The highest consumers, sinking over four cups daily, were those with stressful careers: journalists consumed the most. They were followed closely by police officers and teachers.
The survey showed that 62% of workers were not aware of the health risks related to an excessive caffeine intake.
