[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

Cheers or tears? The true cost of alcohol is staggering 🥂💔

The new @WHO's new Alcohol Policy Playbook reveals the enormous health and economic toll alcohol takes on the WHO European Region. Let’s make health a priority over profit.

Highly recommend this show. Five great actors, one perfect ensemble. Loved it, from start to finish. Didn't expect the Irene Cara-esque finale! #WhatWeTalkAboutWhenWeTalkAboutAnneFrank

@LennoxHerald 9 years down the line and £6M spent and STILL it's not open. Astonishing...

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. https://t.co/qVjkbiGQY3

“Cheap, strong alcohol appeals to the young & vulnerable as it is bought for pocket money prices”
Joanne’s 16 year old daughter, Megan, died after drinking cheap strong cider. On the day Scotland uprates MUP to 65p, she wants it now for England

This snap from 1866 shows Flora Annie Webster with Skye and West Highland terriers on Invercreran Estate.

Does anyone have any older doggy images in their Barkives?

@across_the_pod @LoriFeathers @samjordison @GalleyBeggars @wwnorton @FaberBooks @interabangbooks Great interview. He's such a thoughtful, captivating commentator. Could listen all day.
Loved this "big social novel", and already know I'll return to it for another read soon,with renewed focus on different characters from first read. Such a meaty book.

It's day 2 of #AlcoholAwarenessWeek

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:

An estimated 1 in 4 people in #WestDunbartonshire are drinking at potentially harmful levels. It's not always obvious when someone is struggling, and many people drink at home, alone. If you, or someone you know needs help, give DACA a call - 01389 731456
