MEAS1 (Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society Limited) is an alcohol social responsibility organisation committed to tackling the problems of alcohol abuse and misuse. A registered charity, MEAS works in partnership with Government, with other appropriate bodies, including An Garda Siochana, the Road Safety Authority and local authorities and with the alcohol industry to promote the responsible marketing, retailing and use of alcohol in Irish society. Established in 2002 by the alcohol manufacturers, distributors and licensed trade associations in Ireland as an independent, not-for-profit company, MEAS supports the Responsible Serving of Alcohol training programme, administers the MEAS Code of Practice on the Naming, Packaging and Promotion of Alcoholic Drinks, and has developed and delivers the drinkaware.ie Social Marketing Communications Initiative. The drinkaware.ie initiative was established in 2006 further to the drinks’ Industry commitment under the then Government-sponsored Sustaining Progress Special Initiative on Alcohol.

Financial support valued at €20m was committed by the drinks industry to the initiative over the five year period, 2007-2011 and the industry has committed to support the initiative beyond this timeframe.
