60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: April Edition

  • Ever been tipsy at work?

Eighty-seven percent of Americans say they have never been even a little tipsy at work. Eleven percent said they have and two percent can't remember (let's add them to the 11 percent). The three martini lunches of the 50's and 60's (think "Mad Men") are pretty much over these days but if you look around at lunchtime it seems that many people still enjoy a beer or a cocktail with their lunch. Eighty-seven percent seems like a lot of abstemious people, but with the employment market still tough maybe more folks are watching their P's and Q's.

This poll was conducted at the CBS News interviewing facility among a random sample of 1,125 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone February 24-27, 2012. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.
