The LGCA launched its updated Know My Drinking Limits campaign in November 2023 to provide Manitobans with tips for minimizing the risks associated with liquor consumption and update them on the new Guidance for Alcohol and Health.
This new campaign shares tips and strategies for Manitobans to consider using to reduce the health risks associated with consuming alcohol. These strategies include setting and sticking to a drink limit, slowing one’s rate of consumption by eating or alternating non-alcoholic beverages with alcoholic ones, and knowing the amount of alcohol in a standard size drink.
The latest research indicates that the number of Manitobans who regularly consume liquor more than four times a week has increased since 2013, and those classified as being dependent on liquor is up from 2019.
With celebrations and socializing being the most identified reasons for drinking alcohol, the holiday season can present Manitobans with multiple opportunities to consume liquor. The objective of this campaign is to provide Manitobans with the knowledge and strategies for avoiding unnecessary risks from drinking during the holiday season and beyond.
