IF YOU are worried about your drinking, or that of your friends or family, experts will be on hand to help this week.

During Alcohol Awareness Week, staff from charity Turning Point will be at shopping centres throughout the county.

The pop-up stall will be at the Emery Gate shopping centre in Chippenham on Tuesday, The Shires in Trowbridge on Wednesday and the Brunel shopping centre in Swindon on Thursday.

Staff from Turning Point will show people how much they are really drinking, using glasses with unit measures and advising on how to get help if they are worried about how much they are drinking.

They will also give suggestions about how to broach the tricky subject of somebody else's excessive drinking.

Senior engagement at prevention worker Alex Cattelona said: "It's important to recognise in Wiltshire that many of us are causing problems for ourselves and others. We don't want to stop anyone having fun, but for many the fun has stopped and we want to help them get that fun back by helping them through problems with alcohol."
