Don't Bottle It Up - HAGA launches online self assessment and referral resource


HAGA has launched DontBottleItUp, a website that allows visitors to work out the level of risk they are at as a result of their drinking and access personalised advice online. For areas such as Haringey where it is commissioned locally, users can find out where to get face-to-face support.
