I was on the BBC Radio Sheffield yesterday talking about our @ias.org.uk funded project on exploring whether no and low alcoholic drinks can help people from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds to reduce their alcohol consumption.
It was great to hear SARG's @mervemolla.bsky.social on BBC Radio Sheffield yesterday discussing her research into alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks. Listen to the interview on the BBC website (Merve's segment starts at 1:14:45) 📻
