This year’s Alcohol Awareness Week campaign began on Monday 3rd July, running until Sunday 9th July, with a theme of “Alcohol and Cost”.
Managed and hosted by Alcohol Change UK, the campaign aims to create “alcohol change” – a Britain with alcohol, but without serious alcohol harm, in order to create a healthier and happier country.
As part of the campaign, they have published a range of resources to help create alcohol change, including:
- “Eyes Wide Open” blog from Dr Richard Piper, CEO of Alcohol Change UK
- Susan’s story: a video on how alcohol nearly cost Susan everything, but getting the right kind of support helped
- factsheets on Alcohol and Mental Health, Alcohol and Relationships, and Alcohol and Your Body
- ““You’re so boring!” It’s Time to Stop Judging and Start Supporting our Sober Friends”: a blog from the 2023 #SoberSpring campaign on sober shaming and how to can support non-drinking friends
- 2023’s Alcohol Awareness Week newsletter (accessibility view)
- the results of a recent Opinium survey on drinking habits in the UK
