Alcohol Awareness Week 2025 - July 7th to 13th.

This week is a campaign organized by Alcohol Change UK to raise awareness about the risks of alcohol misuse and promote healthier choices. It encourages individuals, charities, and organizations to discuss alcohol harm and its impact on communities.

Around 10 million of us are regularly drinking alcohol in ways that can harm our health and wellbeing. From headaches, hangovers and sleepless nights to lower productivity and symptoms like anxiety and depression worsening over time, alcohol affects us in so many ways.

We want to build a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems – like poverty, mental health issues, homelessness – are addressed; where those of us who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever we need it, without shame or stigma.
