Alcohol Awareness Week - 11-17 November 2019

Alcohol awareness week is coordinated by the Alcohol Change UK. Over 1,700 public health teams, workplaces, GP surgeries, pharmacies, hospitals, charities and other community groups across the country took part in and organised events for the 2018 campaign.

This year's theme is “Alcohol and me” and is hoped to offer a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking - it’s a week of raising awareness and campaigning for change.
