As the festive season approaches and social events in diaries start to increase, how aware are you of the impact of alcohol on your body, your mind and your life in general?
When it comes to diet, we all know that making healthy choices on what we eat, and drink contributes to a healthier lifestyle and all too often this becomes low priority at the hands of being short on time to plan or prepare and habitual behaviours amongst other things.
As we approach the festive period with plenty of time to socialise and indulge why not take time to reflect and make conscious decisions on your nutritional wellbeing.
As part of Alcohol Awareness Week, which ran from 11 to 17 November, LSE is collaborating with Alcohol Change UK to help raise awareness of alcohol on daily life, our wellbeing and with the festive period just around the corner, staff wellbeing has arranged for a fun team building activity in December to get us ready to enjoy the festivities while keeping our self-care a priority with our very own LSE staff quiz day!
Friday, 13 December 2019
One hour quiz time slots (You will only need to be able to attend one):
10.00am - 11.00 am – Quiz 1
11.15am - 12.15pm Quiz - 2

4.30pm - 5.30 pm Quiz - 4
Time slot will be confirmed by emailing staffwellbeing@lse.ac.uk with your team details, read below for more information.
Absolutely no preparation necessary, just come along ready to enjoy yourself.
Is red wine really good for you?
Can you beat a breathalyser with a copper coin?
Which is stronger? Gin or Prosecco?
And what about those boozy Christmas puds?
Book in your team and come along to find out!
The key of the staff quiz day is to take a little break out of the day for staff to have a fun while learning useful information that you can take back to co-workers, family and friends over the holiday period on the best way to enjoy alcohol responsibly.
Sound good? Great!
To join in the fun all you need is:
1) One team* per department/ division/ centre or institute in the School with between 4-6 people
2) A team name – the more outrageous the better
3) Select a first and second choice time slot of your convenience
4) Email staffwellbeing@lse.ac.uk to secure your space*
(*Your team space on the School quiz day league table will be allocated on a first come first served basis).
Deadline for team submissions is midday on Tuesday 10 December.
So, talk with your colleagues and managers now to see if you can get together your best four people to represent your area and see how much you really know!
Sound good? Great!
Why not challenge colleagues to see which of you knows more? Tell your co-workers and speak to your mangers about getting a team together and joining the festive fun, we promise it will be lots of fun!
