      Health Awareness

      Alcohol Awareness Month

      Drinking too much alcohol increases people’s risk of injuries, violence, drowning, liver disease, and some types of cancer.

      The good news? We can all take steps to help prevent alcohol misuse or abuse.

      Spread the word about strategies for preventing alcohol misuse or abuse and encourage communities, families, and individuals to get involved.

      How can Alcohol Awareness Month make a difference?

      We can use this month to raise awareness about alcohol abuse and take action to prevent it — both at home and in the community.

      Here are just a few ideas:

      • Encourage friends or family members to make small changes, like keeping track of their drinking and setting drinking limits.
      • Share tips with parents to help them talk with their kids about the risks of alcohol use.
      • Ask doctors and nurses to talk to their patients about the benefits of drinking less or quitting

      How can I help spread the word?

      We’ve made it easier for you to make a difference. This toolkit is full of ideas to help you take action today. For example:
