🌦️With summer here and the Euros in full flow, many people may change their drinking habits, so it is important to think about your drinking and how to reduce harm

🧠Be aware of how much you drink when watching football and the impact that alcohol can have on the body and mind

[IAS @InstAlcStud]

A huge amount of money is lost to our economy due to alcohol harm reducing productivity.

New figures show at least £5 billion is lost every year, due to:
➡️Reduced productivity at work
➡️Absence from work due to illness
➡️Unemployment

[IAS @InstAlcStud]

Social services pick up a lot of the harm caused by alcohol, not only in time and energy, but also financial cost.

New figures show at least £2.9 billion is spent on alcohol treatment and child social services every year.
