Goheung-gun Launches 'When Alcohol Stops, Our Safety Begins' Campaign

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 17th, Jeonnam Goheung-gun announced that on the 16th, it held a campaign at the central intersection of Goheung-eup under the slogan "Alcohol! Our safety begins when it stops."

This campaign was conducted to prevent the physical and social harms caused by high-risk drinking during the year-end and New Year period, when alcohol consumption tends to increase.

Although year-end gatherings are expected to be replaced by various methods due to the spread of COVID-19, it is recommended to avoid gatherings as much as possible, and if drinking is necessary, the following drinking moderation rules should be followed.

▲ Avoid drinking occasions as much as possible. ▲ Do not force others to drink. ▲ Do not do one-shot drinking. ▲ Do not drink bomb cocktails. ▲ Abstain from alcohol for 3 days after drinking.

A county official said, "With the prolonged social distancing, the number of people drinking alone (hon-sul) and drinking at home (home-sul) is increasing. Such behaviors make it difficult to control one's own alcohol intake and can easily lead to alcohol dependence, so special caution is required," adding, "As this is a time when improving physical immunity is necessary to prevent COVID-19 infection, individuals must practice drinking moderation themselves."
