“Forward Leeds is asking people to think how they would spend an extra £60 in Alcohol Awareness Week.

Alcohol Awareness Week runs from 3rd to the 9th July. The Forward Leeds campaign called Sober Savings highlights that someone who drinks two alcoholic drinks a day is spending around £60 a week on alcohol.

Forward Leeds Service Manager James Barrie, pictured above, said: “We want people to think about something positive or rewarding they could do with an extra £60 each week. Nationally the theme of Alcohol Awareness Week is ‘alcohol and cost’.

Forward Leeds has created an Alcohol and Cost quiz to help people think about the financial effects of drinking on individuals, society and the economy.”
