In this episode of Alcohol Uncensored, we’re joined by Marc Buchanan from Alcohol Focus Scotland for a different kind of conversation - one that looks beyond individual drinking habits and explores the bigger picture of alcohol harm in Scotland.Marc talks us through the work Alcohol Focus Scotland does around alcohol policy, prevention, lived experience, marketing, affordability and availability.We discuss how alcohol marketing impacts people in early recovery, why young people are so influenced by alcohol branding, the role of minimum unit pricing, and why prevention matters long before someone reaches crisis point. This is an eye-opening conversation about Scotland’s relationship with alcohol, the drinking culture many of us have grown up around, and why creating change means looking at the bigger picture - not just individual drinking habits. 🎧 Alcohol Uncensored is the podcast for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, exploring an alcohol-free lifestyle, or looking for honest conversations about the realities - and rewards - of living without it.
