Alcohol emergency overdose resource - cover and inside pages

Over 500 people a year die from alcohol overdose, and a significant portion of A&E visits are alcohol-related issues. A report by the Nuffield Trust suggests that up to 35% of all A&E attendance and ambulance costs may be alcohol-related. The necessity of these A&E visits can vary widely. Some cases may involve acute alcohol poisoning, which needs immediate emergency treatment. However, there could also be cases where individuals attend A&E for less serious issues that could be managed in other ways. This alcohol overdose information resource will help people distinguish between someone who's had 'a few too many' and a life-threatening overdose. The resource will explain when to seek emergency care and when and how to manage the situation if a hospital visit isn't required. This resource will provide the following information:
  • understand how alcohol influences behaviour and increases the risk of injury
  • recognise the signs of alcohol overdose
  • identify immediate action to take
  • determine when medical help is needed
  • how casualty departments handle alcohol-related admissions
  • reducing alcohol-related harm

DRINK LESS ALCOHOL

April 2021: Refreshed, redesigned, and updated. We like to make sure our resources are as up-to-date as possible, so we have given our popular alcohol resource, formerly called Alcohol - Six Steps to Changing your Drinking Habits, a lick-of-paint, updated the alcohol advice, and re-named it Drink Less Alcohol - Six Steps to Changing your Drinking Habits.


For many people, having a drink with friends is one of life’s pleasures. However, for others, the effects of alcohol can lead to a variety of problems.

This is because they drink too much, too often. Alternatively, they may drink too much in one session and risk harming themselves or people around them.

In this alcohol resource, we will follow the drinking habits of Lucy, Danny, Warren, Anna and Billy, consider their drinking patterns and if they need to make any changes. The Drinker’s Stories can help people assess their own drinking habits and help hem make decisions about their alcohol use.

They can use the drinks diary on the inside back page to record the number of alcoholic drinks they have throughout the week. Work out the total number of units they drink, and decide if you would benefit from cutting down. They can use the techniques in the six-step plan to support them make changes to their drinking habits.

This alcohol resource can be used in a brief advice setting or given to clients to encourage them to consider their drinking habits and support them to make changes.

BINGE DRINKING: 
A Night on the Town


This 16-page A6 alcohol resource will help drinkers of any age understand the risks associated with binge drinking. It provides practical and sensible information and advice about reducing the harm caused by harmful drinking habits.

Spiking

July 2022: Updated with the latest drink-spiking guidance and legal advice.
front cover and inside pages of a binge drinking harm reduction booklet

This 16 page, A6 binge drinking booklet, is for drinkers of any age who have developed a pattern of drinking which is starting to harm their health and have a negative impact on their lives.

Binge drinking is usually defined as consuming more than 6 units of alcohol in a single session for men and women. Not a lot!

Tolerance to alcohol varies from person to person, and the speed of drinking in a session can alter alcohol's effects.

Binge drinking can increase people's risk of accidents resulting in injury, misjudging risky situations and losing self-control.

This booklet provides information on:

  • pre-loading
  • mixing drugs and alcohol - cocaethylene
  • dealing with aggression and violence
  • identifying risk
  • reducing the harm from alcohol
  • how to cut down
  • where to get help

Other sources of information you may find useful

ALCOHOL AWARE

Alcohol is the most common drug used by young people in the UK. Almost four in 10 16-24-year-olds in England said they drank alcohol in the last week, according to a recent NHS survey. 

Young people are particularly at risk of alcohol-related harm. The information in this booklet will help young people to identify the risks associated with alcohol and give them advice on how to stay safe. It describes what alcohol is, how it’s manufactured, how your body breaks it down and how it affects you if you drink more than the body can deal with.

It explains the meaning of labels on alcoholic drinks, such as what makes up a unit of alcohol and how to work out its strength.

It illustrates the latest government recommended limits and lists typical short-term positive effects of drinking within them and the short and long-term negative effects of drinking over the limit.

The resource details the most common warning signs when alcohol is starting to damage someone’s health or personal life, and what to do to get help. It gives harm reduction advice on the following risks associated with drinking alcohol: 

  • Alcohol dependence
  • Mixing alcohol and other drugs
  • Overdose
  • Seizures
  • Alcohol and sex
  • Alcohol and violence
  • Drink driving
