Challenge 25 is a nationwide campaign that aims to promote responsible drinking and prevent the sale of alcohol to those who are under 18 years old or appear to be under the age of 25. This initiative encourages both retailers and consumers to play an active role in creating a safer drinking environment for everyone.
Underage drinking poses significant risks to young individuals, including physical and mental health problems, impaired judgment, accidents, and even long-term consequences.
Challenge 25 seeks to address this issue by raising awareness among retailers and the general public, emphasizing the importance of verifying age before selling alcohol.
Challenge 25 is a simple and effective strategy that puts the responsibility on both retailers and customers. The key principle is to challenge anyone who appears to be under the age of 25 and request valid identification to prove their age before selling them alcohol.
Staff Training: Employers and staff members receive training on Challenge 25 guidelines, understanding legal obligations, and recognizing valid forms of identification.
Retailers are encouraged to ask for identification from any customer who appears to be under 25, even if they believe the customer is of legal age. Acceptable forms of ID include passports, driver’s licenses, and PASS cards (UK national proof of age accreditation scheme).
Displaying Challenge 25 signage throughout the store reminds customers and staff about the campaign and encourages responsible drinking.
Retailers are encouraged to promote alcohol responsibly, avoiding tactics that may target young people or encourage excessive consumption.
Carry Valid Identification:
If you are 25 years old or under, always carry valid identification such as a passport or driver’s license when visiting places where alcohol is sold.
Be Prepared to Show ID:
If asked by a retailer to prove your age, show your identification without hesitation. Remember, it’s for your safety and the responsible consumption of alcohol.
Choose establishments that actively participate in Challenge 25 and demonstrate a commitment to responsible alcohol sales.
