Charity encourages Drinking Checks

While many wouldn’t bat an eye at regular visits to the dentist or the optometrist, new research from Drinkaware has revealed two thirds (66%) of adult drinkers in the UK – an estimated 30 million people – have never been asked to check in on their drinking.

This Alcohol Awareness Week, the alcohol charity is urging Brits to take a quick and easy “Drinking Check” and ensure they are not putting their health at risk by unknowingly overconsuming – especially as the summer season and summer holidays come into full swing.

Available on their website, the Drinking Check is a simple tool to understand what impact alcohol may have on health as well as identifying potentially harmful habits. It also provides advice on how to have a healthier relationship with alcohol.

Aston spoke to Karen Tyrell, CEO of Drinkaware.
