When alcohol is all around us, its impact can be easy to miss.
This #AlcoholAwarenessWeek is a chance to pause and reflect.

“We often think of alcohol harm as a public health issue, but this research shows it’s a national economic problem."
A new report from @IPPR reveals the economic costs of alcohol harm, with 1 in 3 UK workers calling in sick after work drinks.

Cider is still taxed at less than half the rate of beer of the same strength.
Aligning both rates with wine/spirits could save 75,000 lives over 20 years and £1.4bn for the NHS.
It’s time to end this unfair tax loophole.

🍷 Alcohol Awareness Week – know your limits
Being mindful of how much you drink supports your liver, mental health and overall wellbeing.
If you need support, speak to your GP or visit Be Healthy Bucks. Small changes make a big difference.
