During Alcohol Awareness Week Alcohol Change UK met with MPs in Westminster to talk about the true cost of alcohol, from health and relationship difficulties to problems with family and finances.

We talked about the urgent need for a new government alcohol strategy, including better labelling, increased funding for treatment and support, a reduction in cheap alcohol and protection at work for people who are alcohol dependent in the Equality Act.
