Alcohol Change UK have announced Alcohol Awareness Week (AAW) 2020 will take place from 16-22 November on the theme of alcohol and mental health.
Alcohol Change UK say:
Around 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year and drinking too much or too often can increase our risk. But many of us are unaware of the link between alcohol and poor mental health and it’s often the first thing we turn to when we’re feeling low, stressed, worried or unable to cope.
Yet drinking too much or too often can mask or enhance underlying mental health problems - such as anxiety and depression - and prevent them from being properly addressed."

A note to our subscribers: since 2019 Alcohol Policy UK no longer receives funding support following a long-running agreement with the former Alcohol Research UK/AERC. We are currently exploring future funding options so we can provide more regular updates to our readers as before.
