DrinkHelp.ie, a new website to assist people seeking help and advice in relation to alcohol-related issues, has been launched by Alcohol Action Ireland.
DrinkHelp.ie has been developed by Alcohol Action Ireland in response to consistent demand from people contacting the charity seeking access to alcohol services, as well as information and advice.
Last year, almost 6,000 people used Alcohol Action Ireland’s Alcohol Service Finder to search for help. That coupled with demand for information relating to alcohol consumption led Alcohol Action Ireland to develop its new website.
DrinkHelp.ie offers users:
- The Alcohol Service Finder
- A series of leaflets providing information and advice on alcohol, including tips on how to cut down on your drinking, with specific leaflets for families, women, men and older people.
- The Drink Calculator, which allows you to calculate how much of your low-risk alcohol limit you are drinking – and how many calories you are consuming in the process
- Information and advice on how to talk to others about their drinking, including how to talk to someone whose drinking you’re concerned about and how to talk to a child about alcohol
- Information, advice and links to the relevant supports for those of all ages, including children, who may be suffering as a result of someone else’s drinking, such as a parent or partner
- Links to organisations that offer support and services for who may be suffering as a result of someone else’s drinking
