Just another drop? Director’s report on alcohol published
Published
The Director of Public Health, Siobhan Farmer, has published her annual report which highlights society’s complex relationship with alcohol and the impact it has on us.
The report tells us around 1 in 5 people are consuming alcohol at levels which put them at an increased risk of harm, and how the threshold for harm is often much lower than we realise.
Siobhan said: “This report is also challenging because I have personal experience of the impact of alcohol. In a video clip, I share Jane’s story, which I felt was an important example of how alcohol can affect all of us in many ways.”
The report makes recommendations for the county council and partners, and a final recommendation for individuals to be more mindful of their own drinking – and practical tips on how to do this.
