Delighted to be at this event this morning. We must stop preventable diseases by realising we are all products of our environments. Paradigm shift required in policy.
Brewer AB Inbev argues marketing an alcohol-free beer carrying an alcoholic beer brand--as in its Olympic partnership--is essential to overcoming a "stigma barrier". Others might say it is a way for an alcohol brand to appear where it would not otherwise.
Everything we do is underpinned by a commitment to empowering young people to make informed decisions around alcohol. Providing Alcohol Awareness training to every member is really important to us, and throughout the year the training continues.
