This year’s Alcohol Awareness Week is all about understanding alcohol harm. It isn’t always easy to open up about our alcohol use. But finding out more about alcohol harm and how it affects us, can help us take better control of our drinking and improve our health and wellbeing.

There are so many alcohol myths! The truth is you don't need alcohol to have fun, feel happy or relax. Millions of us are choosing not to drink or to cut down and enjoy many amazing benefits. Find out more at: alcoholchange.org.uk/alcohol-facts/… #AlcoholAwarenessWeek #ViaMerton

Drinking too much alcohol can leave us with low energy, poor sleep, headaches, and hangovers. But cutting back can help us feel better. Head over to the link for tips: alcoholchange.org.uk/help-and-suppo… or contact Via for more support #AlcoholAwarenessWeek #ViaMerton #AlcoholChangeUK
