"We’re recognising that there’s a whole host of grey area drinkers who don’t have the traditional ‘problem’ that we all think of when it comes to drinking but their drinking is becoming a problem because it’s negatively impacting their life, whether that’s their physical health, mental health, productivity, sleep, friendships etc." "That’s becoming a real turning point", she told Goodto. She also agrees that people aren't turning their backs on alcohol because it's ruined their lives (although in many cases, that is the reason) - but a lot of other people just don't want to feel its effects any longer.
