We should be able to enjoy sports without the constant nudge to drink. By writing to your MSPs, you can ask them to commit to bringing an end to alcohol sport sponsorship in their manifestos for the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections. Email your MSP here:bit.ly/3LLVo10
Every day in Scotland, almost 90 people are hospitalised and 3 people lose their lives to alcohol. Our love of sports is used by alcohol companies as a vehicle to promote their products. This exposure to alcohol marketing influences us to buy and drink more alcohol.
