Alcohol Awareness Week 31st March – 4th April 2014

This year’s theme is “Alcohol’s Harm to Others: When Their Drinking Becomes Your Problem!” specifically highlighting the following KEY areas:

• Family problems

• Assaults, Crime & Anti-social behaviour

• Passengers travelling with a driver under the influence of alcohol

• Workplace accidents and loss of productivity

It will also emphasise the importance of the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, due to its potential to reduce these negative effects through its broad range of evidence-based policy measures.
