WELCOME...

Everyone knows a 'Dave'. He always buys the first round. And the last. He hates seeing a drink half finished, so he'll finish it.

He's a really great guy. Everybody loves him. But what he loves is a drink. His life is getting out of control, but he can’t see it. Neither can he see the effect it’s having on those around him.

For his sake, and everybody else's, it’s time to Save Dave.

That's why we're here to SAVE DAVE. It provides support and a free confidential service to anyone over 16 experiencing alcohol related difficulties.

We know people drink excessively for all sorts of reasons but we're not here to sit in judgement. We’re only here to offer practical advice to help them get their life back on track.

You can contact the service about yourself, a friend or a relative. We also accept referrals from health and social care professionals.

Dave is a fictional character that anyone can relate to, in fact he could be any Tom, Dick or Harry. There are approximately 8,000 'Daves' in Portsmouth who are drinking at levels which will damage their health. Are you one of them?

         

Dave goes to the World Cup

Dave loves the world cup and it’s the perfect excuse to sink a few more beers than normal. However, he’s noticed a few changes recently – he’s feeling a bit bloated and he’s definitely seen a change in performance!

You see drinking can have a detrimental effect on men’s health such as causing weight gain and effecting sexual performance.
