| Film bids to cut binge drinking 06 October 2008 | |
NORTHERN Constabulary has launched a film, Tonight You Decide, which aims to cut binge drinking by young women The four minute film is the brainchild of drug and alcohol co-ordinator Inspector Bob Pollock. He said: "The film seeks to recognise that a growing percentage of 50% of the population is increasing their consumption of alcohol. That in doing so, they run the risk of never reaching their potential personally and socially; they may be storing up health problems for the future, let alone the present; they run the risk of falling prey to predatory males; they may become involved in criminal acts, and acts of violence. "The film does not set out to lecture, nor to preach abstinence, it merely presents the truth of what is happening to many, and leaves the decision to those viewing as to the choices they will make." Highland Drug and Alcohol Action Team are also behind the film which was made with funding from Highland Council's Anti-social Behaviour Fund. Northern Constabulary also contributed towards the costs and the film was produced by Edinburgh based Hee Haw Productions. |
