I was delighted to show my support for Alcohol Awareness Week 2023.
The average UK adult spends tens of thousands of pounds on alcohol in the course of a lifetime. However, alcohol can have serious consequences on our own physical and mental health.
Drinking regularly or heavily puts us at greater risk of heart disease, liver disease, stroke, increased blood pressure, and cancer, including throat cancer and breast cancer. It can cause tensions and disagreements with those around us and put a strain on our finances too.
I was pleased to support this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week campaign to reduce alcohol harm in the UK. In Parliament, I will continue to raise my concerns about the risks of excessive alcohol consumption on physical and mental health.
