Everyone in the Australian ad industry is a drunk cokehead! Well, not quite everyone. But according to new survey, "Asked if they knew of work associates who had an alcohol problem, only 7 per cent of those working in media agencies were able to answer 'no.'" Thirty-six percent of the Aussie ad industry said either "yes" or "possibly" when asked if they drink too much. And a fifth said they've used drugs at work. This raises four very important sociological questions:

• Is this really just because Australians are all drunks anyhow?
• Or is it because all ad people are cokeheads, no matter where they're from?
• Could these numbers possibly be any higher in Australia than they'd be in the American ad industry?
• Does this mean that the ad industry has even more drunk cokeheads has than the media?

Informed answers in the comments. (I say yes, yes, no, and who knows?) [via AgencySpy]
