Alcohol Awareness Week – 7th-13th July 2025

Posted on:

This year’s Alcohol Awareness Week takes place from 7th to 13th July.

Around 10 million people in the UK regularly drink alcohol in ways that can harm our health and wellbeing. Alcohol can affect the human body in many ways, not limited to:

  • Headaches
  • Hangovers
  • Sleepless nights
  • Anxiety and depression

Regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week is considered as posing a risk of damaging your health.

Longer hours, more stress, the blurring of lines between work and home, and too many workplace cultures that place drinking rather than people at the centre of things, lead to alcohol and work being linked in many ways. How many of us have likely not stopped to think about the impact of the work we do on our risk from alcohol?

The theme for Alcohol Awareness Week this year is Alcohol and Work. As part of the week, Alcohol Change UK be looking to open conversation about the relationship between alcohol and work to help us better understand it and will be sharing some helpful tips and advice on changes we can make to improve things for everyone.
