This year's Alcohol Awareness Week takes place from 6th -12th July 2026 on the theme of 'Alcohol and me'.
This Alcohol Awareness Week, we’re simply inviting you to take 2 minutes to explore the role alcohol is playing in your life. This could mean understanding more about your alcohol risk level, cutting back on how much you drink, experimenting with an alcohol-free experience or simply learning more. There’s no one-size fits all approach.
We also look at 'Sober Shaming'. What is it and have you experienced it? We share ways to combat your ability to drink only when you want to.
