Work in hospitality? Change your drinking with a free Club Soda course

Work in hospitality or the drinks industry? Want to change your drinking? Discover How to Drink Mindfully

Club Soda is the Mindful Drinking Movement. We work with the drinks industry to promote low and no alcohol brands, and we collaborate with the hospitality sector to make sure pubs, bars and restaurants are welcoming places for people who aren’t drinking. So we understand the unique challenges of changing your drinking when you work professionally with alcohol.

Club Soda offers a unique approach for people working in hospitality or the drinks industry who want to change their drinking habits. If you work in the industry and want to change your drinking, we can help.

About Club Soda’s courses

Club Soda Mindful Drinking Programme Hospitality Edition

Based on behaviour change science, Club Soda’s courses provides the information, tools and support to help you change your drinking, your way. And thanks to the support from The Drinks Trust, if you work in hospitality or the drinks industry in the UK, you get a choice of two online courses, absolutely free:

How to Drink Mindfully if you want to cut down gradually or want to experiment with different ways of changing your drinking
How to Stop Drinking if you want to take a break from drinking so you can reset, refresh and review your relationship with alcohol

But there’s more on offer than just a course. Club Soda is a community too. So we will introduce you to others in the industry and beyond who’ve become mindful drinkers. Becoming a mindful drinker could be the key to thriving in your job, and building a sustainable and productive career in the drinks industry. And we’ll give you all the inspiration and support you need.

And thanks to the generosity of The Drinks Trust, you can access either of the courses completely FREE.
