Students were also informed about the benefits of a moderate and responsible consumption and the risks of abuse and misuse of alcoholic beverages.

Launched in 2015, the project aims to promote moderate and responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages and to reduce alcohol-related harm by educating professionals on the concepts of moderation and responsibility. The initiative's goal is to minimise the damages caused by excessive consumption and/or early alcohol consumption and develop a strategy that facilitates responsible sales.
