Dear All

Welcome to new members who joined the list recently.  

Below are links to two very different types of resources on alcohol from the 
BBC iplayer service: the first is a recording of the recent select committee 
hearing on alcohol.  It is very interesting in terms of the questions being asked 
of the experts but also offers the opportunity to see many of our key alcohol 
experts presenting views and opinions relating to alcohol policy issues and the 
evidence base. Sort of a free conference!

ommittee/

The second is a documentary entitled 'Drinking with the Girls' that was shown 
on the BBC. It is not research but is an examination of the use of alcohol 
among seven different 'groups' of women across all age ranges.  My personal 
interest is using it (or elements of it) to spark debate in teaching/training 
about alcohol and gender and, more broadly, 'reasons' people use alcohol.
