Kennemerland
In the Kennemerland region, 66% of adults drinks 1 or more glasses of alcohol per day, 20% is an excessive drinker and 11% is a heavy drinker. For many people, alcohol is part of it; at parties, during dinner, going out, after exercise. Often for fun, but also as a reward, because of stress or loneliness.
However, drinking alcohol has disadvantages for your health:
- Alcohol reduces the quality of your sleep
- The effect of medicines can be reduced or strengthened by alcohol
- Alcohol increases the risk of many cancers, such as breast cancer, mouth and throat cancer and colon cancer
- Alcohol contains a lot of calories

Take up the challenge and participate in IkPas in January (30 days) or in March (40 days) and experience what an alcohol break does to you.
