Life with Alcohol and Drugs is the podcast from charity Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs. We support anyone concerned about someone else’s alcohol or drug use in Scotland. We give information and advice to many people and help them with confidence, communication, general wellbeing, and we link them into local support. We also help people recognise and understand the importance of looking after themselves. Our podcast features guest speakers and topics concerning life with alcohol and drugs and offers support and advice to anyone who needs it.

We are joined with Rebecca McColl, the Policy and Research Assistant here at Scottish Families, who chats about the Scottish Families Alcohol Action Group’s first report ‘It’s Everywhere’.
The Group designed a survey to get a better idea of how widely spread alcohol messages are in our homes, communities, online spaces, and other parts of everyday life. The survey was open for views in January/February 2021 and then again in September/October 2021. The report compares the findings and shares them to raise awareness and contribute towards creating positive actions that will reduce alcohol harm in Scotland.
In the first survey alone, 35 people noted over 350 references to alcohol – a major stat!
“The message that alcohol is normal and part of the fabric of daily life is harsh considering the level of harm it causes.”
You can also check out the group’s latest activities on their Twitter feed @alcsfad.
