Ask About Alcohol

HSE launches new campaign Ask About Alcohol today to improve people’s knowledge about alcohol.

The campaign aims to ask how much we’re drinking, and inform on how it affects your health and wellbeing, and how you can gain more by drinking less. The site has sections on your relationship with drinking, a drinks calculator, and specific information on alcohol and pregnancy, advice for parents, alcohol and driving, and where to get help, amongst others. There are also helpful videos available including this one on fitness performance:

The key messaged of the campaign are:

• Whatever your alcohol intake think about what it’s doing to you healthwise
• There are benefits to your health & wellbeing if you drink less
• You can be supported in making informed choices in relation to your drinking
• There are supports and services for people seeking help and for families/ friends impacted by another’s drinking
