April is Alcohol Awareness Month

To recognize the serious problem of alcohol abuse, April is designated “Alcohol Awareness Month.” April 5 marks the annual observance of National Alcohol Screening Day (NASD) . At locations across the United States, people can be screened—anonymously—to see if their drinking habits may be risky.

Participants who come into a screening site on April 5 will have the opportunity to view an educational presentation and pick up educational materials, such as a questionnaire that screens for risky drinking and dependence. People can also meet one-on-one with a health professional to discuss any concerns. The screenings are free and anonymous.
