A new study ‘Know your limits: Labelling interventions to reduce alcohol consumption’ by the University of Bristol and funded by Alcohol Research UK suggests that labels which present unit and calorie information in a clear and accessible way - displayed within the context of the Chief Medical Officers’ low-risk drinking guidelines and health messages – improved consumer understanding of the risks associated with drinking.
 

On 1 May 2018 politicians, service providers, researchers and charities met in the Houses of Parliament to set out what they see as the key challenges facing the alcohol treatment sector, and how Government might help address them.
