Drink Better

Drink Better is Shetland’s local initiative aimed at encouraging people to drink more responsibly in the hope that the culture of alcohol can move from one of drunkeness to moderation and enjoyment.

Drink Better has 6 key messages that promote alcohol and drinking in moderation, after all it is about having a good time! And this can be done safely, and sensibly. See if you can make even just one of these messages fit for you and help us all to promote Shetland’s Drink Better initiative.
