Alcohol Focus Scotland is Scotland’s national charity working to reduce the harm caused by alcohol. Our vision is to create a culture where low alcohol consumption is the norm and people who choose not to drink are supported
in their choice.
Due to the easy affordability and widespread availability, we are currently experiencing record levels of alcohol harm.
Alcohol Focus Scotland believes that we all need to drink less. We want to see fewer people having their lives cut short due to alcohol; fewer children and families suffering as result of other people’s drinking and our towns and communities free from alcohol-fuelled crime and violence.
