Alcohol and You

As part of our campaign ‘Alcohol and You’, SpunOut is encouraging you to consider your relationship to alcohol and how it makes you feel. By making small changes to your drinking, you can feel big improvements in your mental and physical health.

As part of the campaign, you’ll find content on social alternatives to drinking, so you can keep your social life busy but your drinking at a minimum. You’ll find information on how to cope with social anxiety at parties without having to drink alcohol, how to cope with hangovers and alcohol’s impact on anxiety, and how to approach a friend who may be drinking too much. There is also information on addiction and support services.

You can find a list of the content below:

• Binge Drinking
• Alcohol free events and activities in Ireland
• Mixing alcohol and other drugs
• Alcohol and fitness
• Coping with social anxiety without alcohol
• How to avoid feeling awkward at a party
• Alcohol and anxiety
• Alcohol and mental health
• Signs of alcohol dependence
• Support services for alcohol dependency
• How to approach a friend about their alcohol use

As well as that, you can hear from real young people about their experiences with alcohol:

• I recognised my problems with alcohol early on
• Why I don't drink alcohol
• Romanticising alcohol
• Things to do an a sober night out
