Researchers have found more than two million people make fools of themselves every year at their firm's Christmas party.
Research by Corporate IFA Momentum Financial Services indicates that almost half the working population - 13.2 million people - will attend their work Christmas party this year.
But the research suggests that this could be a blessing in disguise as enjoying a good party could have a detrimental effect on employees' careers.
The company have extrapolated their findings and have concluded 2.3 people admit to doing something embarrassing at their office party every year. Just under half, 44 per cent or one million workers, admitted to dancing inappropriately.
Nearly one-third, 31 per cent, have snogged a colleague, (722,000), and nearly a quarter, 23 per cent, have been sick in public (just over half a million workers).
More than one in five, 22 per cent, have been rude to the boss, and the same number (just over half a million) admitted to flashing a part of their anatomy.
Nearly one in five, 17 per cent, have broken something in their workplace due to drunken behaviour (just over 391,000), and 4 per cent, or just over 92,000, have photocopied a part of their body.
However, nearly one-fifth of the British workforce (4.85 million) say their company will not be having a party this year.
