The informants represented employers and employees with a diversity of roles at multiple organisational levels. The transcribed interviews were analysed by applying a phenomenological hermeneutical approach.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nResults:<\/em>\u00a0The analysis revealed six dimensions of drinking culture representing potentially risky drinking behaviour in situations that fall in the grey zone between work and leisure: (1) \u201cWho invited me?\u201d (Degree of obligation towards inviter), (2) \u201cDo I have to participate?\u201d (Degree of participation volunteerism), (3) \u201cTo drink or not to drink?\u201d (Degree of drinking volunteerism), (4) \u201cWork talk or small talk?\u201d (Degree of work-related conversation), (5) \u201cAre there any drinking rules to follow?\u201d (Degree of regulation), and (6) \u201cThe influence of being away from home\u201d (degree of distance to home).<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nConclusions:<\/em>\u00a0The findings reveal that employers and employees\u2019 experience of drinking culture can be categorised as six different \u201cshades of grey\u201d. The grey zone is shaded from light to dark grey, indicating how risky the informants perceive the grey zone to be. The findings may be useful when designing workplace health promotion programmes and alcohol regulations in the workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2019.1585 Hildegunn Sagvaag Department of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Stavanger, Norway.
