An alcohol-responsibility advocacy group are hoping to implement the first-ever national Alcohol Awareness Week for March of next year.
The Alcohol Forum is an organisation that has its roots in a pilot programme of alcohol awareness in the old Northwestern Health Board. It had planned for a week of highlighting awareness in the northwestern area to go ahead last May but said that it received such a positive response to that idea from authorities and the public that it decided to try to roll it out as a nationwide campaign.
A high-profile alcohol awareness week has been running in the UK for several years and will be held again there next month from 19-25 November. However, there has never been a similar week-long nationwide project in Ireland.
