SUPERMARKET giant Asda is working with an alcohol education charity to offer information and advice on alcohol.
Drinkaware had a stall at the store on Old Mill Lane on Friday giving customers the opportunity to ask questions and get advice.
Participants will be encouraged to complete a quick alcohol assessment using Drinkaware scratch cards and can take home a free alcohol unit measuring cup and calorie wheel.
There will also be specific help for parents on how to speak to their kids about alcohol and how to answer the difficult questions that children can ask.
Chris Lowe, senior director for corporate affairs at Asda, said: “Customer insight shows that more people think about their health in January, and look for ways to cut back on their alcohol consumption after the festive period, so this opportunity to receive accessible, friendly advice and support comes at just the right time.”
