Alcohol Awareness Week – Dover District Council raise awareness

Alcohol Awareness Week is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. This year, the theme is Change. The week runs from 19-25 November 2018.

Alcohol is a part of many of our lives. We use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down. It’s legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged.

Yet every year in the UK, alcohol-related harm leads to thousands of lives lost, and hundreds of thousands more damaged. The harm goes far beyond those who drink too much, affecting families, communities, and ultimately our whole society.
