Campaign: | To make people more aware of the sugar content in alcoholic drinks |
Most people know that alcohol abuse can cause health problems such as liver disease, but there are other complications associated with it too.
Someone I know was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after years of heavy drinking.
It’s worrying because most people aren’t aware of the sugar content in alcoholic drinks.
My team and I are working with Fixers to help raise awareness and educate people about the potential risks of having too much sugar in their diet.
If they realise what is in their drinks, maybe they will think twice before choosing them.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
Freddy Hope
Hope Cole
Jamie Devlin
Rachel McCartney
Tammy Gourley
Tasia Downey
Dr Brid Farrell, Consultant in Public Health Medicine
Dr Brid Farrell supports our Fix. She agreed to be interviewed to appear in our TV film.
The Cosy Chair
The team at the cafe support our project. They allowed us to film there.
The college supported us by putting us in touch with Fixers.
Me and my friends want young people to know that calories aren't the enemy!
