As part of Alcohol Awareness Week in the UK, Alcohol Focus Scotland has released a video capturing feedback and quotes from children and young people about the pervasive presence of alcohol and its marketing in their lives. The video, which complements the joint report with the Children’s Parliament titled “It’s All Around You All the Time,” highlights the impact of alcohol advertising on the youth. By sharing these candid reflections, the #AlcoholFreeKids campaign aims to garner support to protect children from harmful alcohol marketing, urging communities and policymakers to take decisive action to create a healthier environment for future generations.
