We need to understand how people are drinking and what drinking means to them, rather than just focusing on the amount of alcohol they consume.
Ever wondered why people drink the way they do in Britain? Dr John Holmes, a senior research fellow at the University of Sheffield’s Alcohol Research Group, dives into this intriguing topic. In this episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast, Holmes breaks down the findings from an Alcohol Research UK funded study that looks beyond just how much alcohol people consume. Instead, it explores what drinking means to them and how these behaviours are shaped by cultural and social factors.
Holmes discusses the importance of understanding these deeper motivations to create more effective public health policies. He also touches on the role of the alcohol industry in influencing drinking habits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complex dynamics of alcohol consumption and its broader societal impacts.
