Know Another

Find peer support, advice and guidance with our Know Another drink awareness campaign to help you understand your alcohol intake.

Know when to say no to another

Know Another is a drink-awareness campaign to help you understand your alcohol intake and get advice and resources to help cut down if you think you're drinking too much too regularly.

Our libraries offer regular drop-in groups for you to chat with trained staff and find resources. You can take an online survey about alcohol consumption to see if you're a low risk, medium risk, or high risk drinker. We also hold free mocktail events every few months to socialise with others and try new non-alcoholic drinks.

If you require medical advice, please speak to your GP. If you are experiencing severe symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, the NHS recommends you call 999.
