Pandemic Drinking Trends: Insights from Scottish Families' Alcohol Marketing Survey

I think there was obviously even people that don't have problematic alcohol use at all were still finding a massive increase in their alcohol intake.
Ever wondered how the pandemic has reshaped our drinking habits? In this episode of 'Life with Alcohol and Drugs,' host Rebecca Bradley dives into the findings of a recent alcohol marketing survey conducted by the Scottish Families Alcohol Action Group. With guests like Susie McClue, Gemma, Simon, Louise, Beverly, and Olivia, the discussion sheds light on the pandemic's impact on alcohol consumption, even among those without problematic drinking patterns.
The survey also highlights the significant role of social media in promoting alcohol, especially to younger audiences. One standout point is the example set by Scottish women's football, which has chosen to reject sponsorships from alcohol brands. This decision underscores the importance of taking action against harmful marketing practices. If you're curious about how these trends affect families and communities, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
Plus, it reminds listeners of the support available for those affected by alcohol and drug issues through Scottish Families' helpline and resources.
