Help for work related alcohol abuse?

With more and more workers relying on alcohol to wind down after work the situation regarding alcohol misuse management needs, more than ever, to be addressed. Pressures to drink in particular industries, work parties and general stress which employees deal with by drinking is increasing. However, this increase in work stress related alcohol consumption doesn't appear to be matched by an increase in resources to cope with the problems. If you have a problem with alcohol how comfortable do you feel going to your manager to discuss getting help? Is there a clearly set out policy in your work environment that is there to help you? Or, is it more likely that the last person you would confide in is your boss through fear of being found out or fired? There is help out there, but accessing through work is not as simply as it should be.
