Alcohol Focus Scotland and Alcohol Marketing Expert Network Report Launch
June 30, 2022
Online
Thursday, 30 June 2022Join Alcohol Focus Scotland and the Alcohol Marketing Expert Network for the online launch of their new report.
Exposure to alcohol marketing causes consumption. It encourages positive attitudes towards alcohol, influences our drinking behaviour and creates a culture where regular alcohol consumption is considered normal and desirable. At the same time, alcohol causes more than 200 diseases and conditions, and someone loses their life to alcohol somewhere in the world every ten seconds.
This new report presents evidence of the impact of alcohol marketing on people with (or at risk of) an alcohol problem, children and young people, and the general population.
