Publication type: Press Release

In a nutshell: Research from alcohol charity Drinkaware and sexual health charity Brook has revealed that drinking alcohol increases the chances of young people taking risks. As part of a long term partnership, Drinkaware and Brook are joining forces over Christmas and New Year to distribute packs to young people which contain information about alcohol, sexual health and personal safety. The “Have fun. Be careful” campaign will remind young people that drinking alcohol can affect their ability to assess risks, to use a condom if they choose to have sex and to make plans to get home safely after a night out. The campaign packs also include mobile phone credit and condoms.
