As many across Northern Ireland prepare for the Twelfth of July celebrations, a leading charity is encouraging people to be aware of their alcohol units.
Whether drinking at home, in the bar or at a bonfire, ASCERT is reminding everyone that drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can pose a risk to your own health and the health and safety of those around you.
The Health Survey (NI) 2020/2021 report published by the Department of Health recorded a 4% increase in adults aged 18 and over drinking alcohol – representing 81% of the overall population, with a quarter of men reporting that they drink on three or more days each week.
