Caption

Job recruiters are less likely to select candidates who appear to use drugs or alcohol. In their study, Penn State researchers showed this Facebook image, along with two possible text posts, to job recruiters to gauge their likelihood of hiring the candidate. "Every day is a good day for a rum and coke (or any alcoholic beverage for that matter)" vs. "Every day is a good day for a latte (or anything else in the coffee family for that matter)."
