One in five US workers regularly attends after-work drinks with co-workers, where the most common mishaps range from bad-mouthing another worker to kissing a colleague and drinking too much, according to a study released on Tuesday.
Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues, although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel obligated, said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder.com, an online job site.
As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow, 16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, 10 percent shared a secret about a colleague, 8 percent kissed a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally.
Five percent said they had shared a secret about the company, and 4 percent confessed to singing karaoke.
While 21 percent of those who attend say happy hours are good for networking, 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position.
An equal number of men and women said they attend happy hours with co-workers, with younger workers age 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend.
Overall, 21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and, of those, nearly a quarter go at least once a month.
The survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder.com among 6,987 full-time employees between February 11 and March 13.
Harris Interactive said the results have a sampling error of plus or minus 1.2 percentage points.

據(jù)本周二發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，美國(guó)有五分之一的員工會(huì)定期在下班后跟同事去喝幾杯，每當(dāng)這個(gè)時(shí)候，諸如講同事壞話、親吻某位同事、以及醉酒等糗事就要上演了。
這項(xiàng)為在線求職網(wǎng)站CareerBuilder.com所做的調(diào)查表示，雖然去參加所謂“歡樂(lè)時(shí)光”的人中有15%是去搜羅最新的辦公室流言，13%是迫于無(wú)奈才去的，大多數(shù)員工去那里都是為了拉近同事關(guān)系。
在被問(wèn)及下班后的歡飲時(shí)光都會(huì)做些什么的時(shí)候，有16%的人表示會(huì)講同事壞話，10%的人會(huì)散播某位同事的秘密，8%的人會(huì)親吻某位同事，還有8%的人表示他們會(huì)喝醉酒，做出反常的舉動(dòng)。
有5%的人說(shuō)他們會(huì)傳播一些跟公司有關(guān)的秘密，另有4%的人表示會(huì)唱卡拉OK。
參加歡樂(lè)時(shí)光的人當(dāng)中有21%表示此類(lèi)活動(dòng)有助于人際關(guān)系，85%的人則表示參加此類(lèi)活動(dòng)并不能讓他們跟某些高層人士更加接近，也不會(huì)對(duì)他們升職有什么幫助。
男性和女性跟同事共赴歡樂(lè)時(shí)光的人數(shù)是一樣的，年齡在25到34歲之間的年輕員工是最有可能參加此類(lèi)活動(dòng)的人群，而55歲以上的員工參加的可能性是最低的。
總的來(lái)說(shuō)，有21%的員工下班后會(huì)與同事共赴歡樂(lè)時(shí)光，而他們當(dāng)中有近四分之一的人每月至少去一次。
這項(xiàng)調(diào)查是哈里斯互動(dòng)公司代表CareerBuilder.com在2月11日至3月13日之間進(jìn)行的，共有6987名全職雇員參加。
哈里斯互動(dòng)表示該調(diào)查結(jié)果會(huì)有正負(fù)1.2個(gè)百分點(diǎn)的采樣誤差。
