ALCOHOL AWARENESS WEEK

Alcohol Awareness Week is organised by Alcohol Change UK, the new charity formed by the merger of Alcohol Research UK and Alcohol Concern.

Alcohol Change UK works for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol. Alcohol Change UK is not ‘anti-alcohol’ but promotes ‘alcohol change’.

Alcohol Awareness Week is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. This year the theme is ‘Alcohol and me’.
