When we talk about alcohol at WHO, we often start with the evidence. Today, we're starting with people's experiences.

Aleksandra Olsen works on communications about alcohol and health here at WHO Regional Office for Europe.  At WHO, it is common that we will talk about units, thresholds and risk.  Today, Aleks put all of the statistics aside and invited three women in for a conversation.

Mia, who is 34 and has stage 4 breast cancer.  Hazel, a journalist, and in the past has experienced alcohol related liver disease.  And Millie, who is the founder of Sober Girl Society, which is for sober and sober-curious women.    

Millie puts it this way: there is a lot we could be doing about alcohol that we are not.  Conversations we could be having.  

This is one of them.
