More than one third of Norwegians who drink alcohol are considering or planning an alcohol-free month in 2026. A new survey from Blå Kors shows that interest is strongest among younger people, driven mainly by health-related motivations.

Nearly 4 out of 10 Danish parents find it harder to talk to their teenager about alcohol once they start upper secondary school, a new study from the Danish Cancer Society and TrygFonden shows.

Making clear agreements with teenagers remains the most effective approach.
