Drinking, as a coping mechanism, can and often does lead to problems of its own.
Sleeping problems, aggressive outbursts and difficulty in the ‘bedroom’ have all been associated with men suffering work related stress
Stress related heart disease, immune system disease and mental ill health are apparently higher in men.
Rates of illness in Women are lower, not because they are under any less pressure than men [they are actually thought to have double the pressure] but because women generally have better coping strategies.
Hormonal differences may play a part too but Women are very likely to talk and share problems.
