Making an impression: Recognition of alcohol brands by primary school children
Alcohol Concern was keen to learn whether, and to what extent, the drinks industry’s marketing messages are reaching children, and what the potential implications of this might be. This briefing paper considers the findings of a brand and logo recognition study conducted amongst primary school children across Wales.
On the 6th September in Wales Alcohol Concern Wales will also host a national conference Willing consumers? Alcohol marketing and how to challenge it. Download the conference flyer and full agenda for the day.
Another recent Alcohol Concern Wales report explores the role of alcohol services in tackling alcohol misuse in Wales:
Unsurprisingly, given the current outlook for public spending, alcohol services in Wales have serious concerns about their own financial future. These concerns are intensified by the ongoing high levels of demand for alcohol treatment. Whilst recognising current public funding constraints, Alcohol Concern argues that the immediate and long term benefits of alcohol services to individuals, society and the public purse justify supporting, developing and investing in them.
A drinking nation? Wales and alcohol was published in 2010, with a follow up report in 2011. Another recent report 'Mixed messages' warned of possible dangers of mixing highly caffeinated drinks with alcohol. Alcohol Concern Wales’s Drink Wise Wales website contains an alcohol and energy drink counter outlining the amount of alcohol, caffeine and sugar in common energy drink cocktails.
