Grounded in one of the main goals of the 2020 EU Health Strategy "Together for Health" "promote health, prevent disease and encourage support for healthy lifestyles environments," the best practice on prevention and health promotion "MOCKTAILS: memories of a funny evening" is part of a health promotion approach as a precondition for improving the quality of life of individuals through an intelligent collaborative investment in the health of youngster, young and the whole community of the city of Torres Vedras, located at 40km west of Lisbon. Created by Dianova Portugal in partnership with Municipality of Torres Vedras and in collaboration with 42 partners "MOCKTAILS: memories fun one night" is being held since 2009 on an yearly basis within school and community environments during a week time in May, by focusing on a face-to-face, this strategy of proximity among young students and community environment helps them to "defend themselves" from peer pressure and to be more responsible in leisure times without "risking" the day after. Our main goal with this collaborative strategy (including the National Agency on Drugs, Police forces, Regional Authorities, Schools, Media, Night Life Owners – Bars, Pubs and Discos -, Sponsors and Media), is to keep pushing forward and broaden up this unique and innovative activity in our country in the area of prevention of risk behaviors associated with alcohol abuse. The Municipality of Torres Vedras has become a benchmark example that other cities have shown interest in following and mobilizing an array of concerned stakeholders that are interested in this collaborative joint-action to promote healthy life styles and generate positive impact. In these past 7 years (2009-2015) we have reached directly 30.973 youngsters, young adults and adults.

  6. Mocktails 2015 The philosophy behind this health promotion action is to increase awareness without moral prejudice and building relationships based on proximity and cooperation.

  7. School environment Live to Learn – Grow – Accomplish • Schools represent one the most important social and educational contexts in societies . The opportunity to raise awareness among youngsters, in the school environment, and in collaboration with peers and professionals, is one of the axis that assures this project’s sustainability. The project’s technical team goes to high schools in the municipality to promote the project and its actions, but also to inform on the risks of alcohol abuse by youngsters. This is part of the National School Health Programme that targets lifestyles as a primary intervention area (European Network). • • .

  8. School environment Live to Learn – Grow – Accomplish • “Lifestyles are a set of response habits and behaviours to daily life situations, learned through socialisation processes and constantly reinterpreted and tested through the course of life.” – Law | Despacho Lei nº1916/2004 With an attitude of active and motivational listening, youngsters are invited to participate in this project having access to a voucher for a free drink at one of the partners establishments. The tone for a different night is set… • •

  9. COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT Nightlife Clubs, Bars and Discos • “In the time frame of analysis – the year before and the year after the legislation under study – there is a tendency among the respondents and interviewed youngsters to maintain the frequency of consumption, including spirit drinks among the under 18 years old”, according to a SICAD analysis. “Generally, the tendency is to maintain the frequency of alcoholic drinks consumption and of all consumptions”, refers the same study. From 1st of July 2015, the law only allows sales and consumption of alcohol to individuals over 18 years old. This law seeks to fight against early alcohol consumption, a reality ever more common among Portuguese youngsters. This isn’t the first time the Portuguese government changes laws in this matter. In 2013 the minimum age for spirit drinks consumption changed from 16 to 18 years old, while other beverages (wine and beer) maintained the 16 years old minimum. • • •

  10. COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT Nightlife Clubs, Bars and Discos Despite the implementation of measures, and contrary to expectations, attitudes of alcohol abuse did not decrease. On the contrary. According to the decree “risky behaviour and excessive consumption” continued and “it were specially the 16 year old who reported increased easy access to alcoholic drinks, regardless of its alcohol content”. Government then urges to the need for “better underage children protection measures when it comes to access to alcohol beverages”. It explains that these measures seek to progressively diminish alcohol consumption among teenagers, counteracting an entrenched drinking culture in Portugal.
