Alcohol Awareness Week
July 7 - July 13
Alcohol Awareness Week is 7th- 14th July 2025. (The week has typically taken place in November each year. However, Alcohol Awareness Week has now moved to its new spot in July.)It is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. It’s a week of awareness-raising, campaigning for change, and more. The theme for Alcohol Awareness Week 2025 is “alcohol and work”
Around 10 million of us are regularly drinking alcohol in ways that can harm our health and wellbeing. From headaches, hangovers and sleepless nights to lower productivity and symptoms like anxiety and depression worsening over time, alcohol affects us in so many ways.
But how many of us have stopped to think about the impact of the work we do on our risk from alcohol? With longer hours, more stress, the blurring of lines between work and home, and too many workplace cultures that place booze rather than people at the centre of things, there are so many ways work and alcohol are linked. This Alcohol Awareness Week, it’s time for us, and the places we work, to feel healthier, more productive and happier.
The cost of living crisis has also played a key role in causing some people to drink more than they’d like to cope with worries around the crisis.
But the cost of alcohol to individuals, our relationships, our families, and our stretched vital public services doesn’t have to be so high.
We can all take steps to make a change. And with improved support and prevention, we can save money and save lives.
Join us for this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week to find out more about alcohol and its cost to us all.
