Alcohol consumption amongst young people especially ‘binge drinking’ is a serious problem in Ireland. Ireland is one of ten European countries taking part in a new innovative EU funded Alcohol Misuse Prevention Project.
The HSE Health Promotion Department in Dublin North East in conjunction with Cavan VEC has commenced piloting the new innovative Alcohol Misuse Prevention Project entitled ‘Take Care’ in Co. Cavan.
The ‘Take Care’ project is mainly targeted at youths between 12 and 21 years who are often unaware of the dangers and risks involved in the inappropriate consumption of alcohol. The project is aimed at encouraging them to adhere to the provisions set in national laws and at hindering alcohol consumption before the set minimum age of 18 years.
