Wake Up
Wake Up is here to encourage and inspire you to think about your drinking habits and enjoy alcohol safely. We want to motivate you to ‘Wake Up’ to a healthier you and embrace life without the hangover.
We know it’s been an incredibly hard year. People miss their friends; juggling home-schooling and work feels like a never-ending task and it’s easy to turn to drink as a way of coping with that.
