We all know that alcohol can form a big part of the university experience and that drinking too much, can have a negative affect on our mood, energy and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research conducted by SOS-UK showed 38% of students said they had missed a lectures or seminar due to their drinking and 32% of students said they had argued with friends or strangers whilst under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, it\u2019s not surprising if you struggle to focus in lectures, feel more tired or irritable following a night out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why this academic year we have partnered with SOS-UK, to be part of their Drink Rethink programme, supported by NUS and Drinkaware<\/a>. As part of this we\u2019re encouraging you to use Drinkaware\u2019s handy Check Your Drinking tool<\/a>. It takes 3 minutes to complete and at the end you\u2019ll receive personalised feedback and insight on your alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Completing the survey will not only help you understand your relationship with alcohol, but it\u2019ll feed into national data around student alcohol use, which will help us understand how better to support you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to talk about your alcohol consumption, or want to make a change, contact me<\/a> to discuss how I can support you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Becky Risley We all know that alcohol can form a big part of the university experience and that drinking too much, can have a negative affect on our mood, energy and resilience.
