Anti Binge Drinking, India Harvey — Battlefront. You're Already Involved

ABOUT

Anti Binge Drinking

India Harvey London

‘It’s not about wasting the best years of your life at the bottom of a vodka bottle.’

My campaign

Like many young people today, I started drinking around the age of 13. It seemed like the only fun thing to do on weekends. But then I started to see things going badly wrong… With my campaign I want to change the idea that drinking is the only way to socialise and have fun. I still drink alcohol sometimes myself, and I don’t want to come across like a strict parent, but I do want to show that there’s more to life than sitting in the park drinking vodka.

My Campaign highlights

- Talking to the Home Office about why teenagers binge-drink

- Meeting my mentor, Andy Powell

- Vox-popping young people about why they binge-drink

How can you help?

- Do you know a venue that might put on a creative non-alcoholic club night?

- Support my campaign by commenting on my page

- Send me ideas about what makes a good night out for you – without alcohol...

Hi India, Georgia from Curtin University in Australia left a comment on my blog asking for an interview about teenagers and alcohol. I suggested that you might be a good person to talk to about this. Look out for a comment from her on your page. Amber x
