The “Alcohol. Think Again” campaign has launched a new video clip as part of its ongoing efforts to reduce alcohol-related harm and promote healthier lifestyles in Western Australia. The campaign highlights the immediate benefits of reducing or stopping alcohol consumption, such as saving money, boosting mood, improving sleep, increasing productivity, and enhancing fitness. Additionally, it underscores the long-term health benefits, including a lower risk of developing serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, stroke, and liver disease. The campaign also stresses the importance of alcohol abstinence for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy to protect their unborn child from potential harm.
To assist individuals in reducing their alcohol intake, the campaign provides practical tips, such as counting drinks, setting drink limits, having alcohol-free days, and choosing low or no-alcohol alternatives. It encourages people to reflect on their drinking habits, identify triggers, and consider the positive changes that reducing alcohol could bring to their lives. The campaign also addresses the inevitability of setbacks in the journey to reduce alcohol consumption, advising individuals to revisit their motivations, understand their triggers, and develop new strategies or seek support when needed. This multifaceted approach aims to empower the Western Australian community to make informed decisions about their alcohol use and improve overall well-being.
