Alcohol & You

The aim of the Alcohol & You app is to provide accurate and up-to-date

alcohol related information to a target audience of those 18 years and over. This

information is presented in an easily accessible and interactive manner.

The Alcohol & You app was developed by the students of Athlone Institute of

Technology’s (AIT) BSc Software Design and BA Graphic Design programmes. It

was created as part of a student led alcohol awareness initiative in partnership with

the Midland Region Drug and Alcohol Task Force (MRDATF), Health Service

Executive (HSE), AIT Healthy Campus Initiative, and Foroige. The initiative was

funded by AIT’s School of Engineering and the Drugs Programme Unit in the

Department of Health.
