Dear HIFA colleagues,
I would like to invite you to retweet the following that I have just sent on our X/Twitter account:
"Pls RT: I just took the DrinkAware test as if I drank 3 pints a day (well over the recommended limit). The result was "Great news! You are at lower risk of alcohol-related problems". We invite others to check. Thx NPW https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/tools/drinking-check#/ "
You can see the tweet and retweet here: https://twitter.com/hifa_org/status/1762399130154885617
We are unsure why the test - which is taken by 900 people every day - is providing such misinformation.
DrinkAware is funded by the alcohol industry.
Thank you for your help to publicise this issue.
Best wishes, Neil
