Sending support to everyone - you deserve a medal!🏅

But on a serious note, sober shaming can make people feel pressured, invalidated, upset and angry – after all, they’re being told that their personal choice, which should have very little impact on anyone else, is offensive, rude or boring, and that it somehow impacts others’ ability to enjoy themselves.

When we support rather than shame people who aren't drinking, whatever their reason, we are more inclusive of everyone.🧡

There’s been a huge amount of debate and discussion in recent years about neurodiversity. But, how does alcohol play a role?

Many autistic adults do drink alcohol, and often use it to cope with the stresses of being autistic in a neurotypical world. Alcohol can become part of the “masking” some autistic people do to fit in with others.

There is also some evidence that people with ADHD are more likely to experience problems with alcohol.

Find out more on our website about why including neurodiversity in the conversation is important, when we’re thinking about how to reduce alcohol harm.👇

Last week, Teri shared her daughter Carla's story of the harm of rapid alcohol deliveries on the Good Morning Britain sofa with Alcohol Change UK ambassador Millie Gooch.

Carla passed away at just 38. She was dealing with a medical condition and the loss of a baby. Rapid alcohol deliveries allowed her drinking to worsen.

Unfortunately Carla's story is one of many we've been hearing since launching our campaign. Alcohol can be ordered in a matter of minutes, with no limits on how much or how often someone can order. Without appropriate safeguards alcohol harm is amplified, and can lead to the worst.

Find out more about how we can and help people who are struggling.👇
