Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | AB InBev’s Ugandan unit, Nile Breweries Limited, has launched a campaign to promote responsible drinking.

NBL’s Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs, Emmanuel Njuki, said the campaign that will run until December, seeks to speak to the power of beer as a drink of moderation.
“As Uganda’s market leader for beer, we are committed to promoting responsible enjoyment of our beverages and accelerating the reduction of harmful consumption of alcohol in Uganda,” he said.

The smart drinking campaign is part of initiatives to mark the Global Beer Responsible Day. The annual event is anchored by AB InBev, as part of efforts to foster a safe drinking culture globally. In Uganda, Nile Breweries spends UGX300 million a year to support a activities that promote responsible consumption of alcohol.
“We want to advise and remind our customers that moderation is key, they should not drink and drive, they should alternate between a beer and a non-alcoholic drink like water, and always pair food with their drink,” Njuki said.
