Alcohol Action Day Scotland 2026

The motion

That the Parliament recognises 12 November 2026 as the first ever Alcohol Action Day Scotland, organised by Alcohol Focus Scotland; acknowledges that more than one million people in Scotland drink at levels that harm their health, putting them at risk of over 200 health conditions; is concerned by recent polling from Alcohol Focus Scotland that found that 60% of adults in Scotland have worried about their own or someone else’s drinking, and that a third of people would not feel confident that they, or someone close to them, could access support to cut down on or stop drinking; acknowledges calls for improved support for people looking to reduce their alcohol consumption, and believes that everyone affected by alcohol should be able to get the support that they need, when they need it.
