Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad

Alcohol prevention and education

Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad (FAS) is based in Madrid and works to prevent alcohol use, particularly among minors. Its work focuses on education and awareness, with programs for schools, families, and other groups.

Programs and initiatives

The foundation offers structured educational programs for schools, young people, and families. Initiatives include the “Menores ni una gota” (“Not a Drop for Minors”) campaign, which has involved 22,000 pharmacies, and partnerships with organizations such as FEBE and Spain’s Ministry of Health. Other projects include “Si eres menor, saca un cero en alcohol” (“If You’re Underage, Get a Zero in Alcohol”), “Hablemos del alcohol” (“Let’s Talk About Alcohol”), “Gestionando Hijos” (“Raising Kids”), “Embarazadas” (“Pregnant Women”), “Comunidad Farmacéutica” (“Pharmacy Community”), and “Proyecto Alba.” The foundation has also developed Alcohol White Paper I and II and supported the White Paper on the Education Pact.

Resources

Public educational materials include “Las caras del alcohol” (“The Faces of Alcohol”), “15 cuestiones clave” (“15 Key Questions”), “Circuito del alcohol” (“The Alcohol Circuit”), “Seguridad Vial y alcohol” (“Road Safety and Alcohol”), and “Mito o realidad” (“Myth or Reality”). A members-only area is available for program monitors.

Scientific committee

FAS has a scientific committee that includes experts Arturo Fernández Cruz, Javier Elzo, José Antonio Marina, Gonzalo Musitu, and Guillermo de la Dehesa.
