Say Yeah, Nah contributes to changing New Zealanders’ drinking culture from the current norm of high-risk drinking to one of moderation.
The fifth phase of Say Yeah, Nah (The Department of Lost Nights) launched in early 2018.
The Department of Lost Nights is based on the insight that 18 to 24-year-olds may drink too much because they think it leads to good times. Instead, drinking too much can keep you from being part of the action and lead to you forgetting the good times.
This campaign is based on a story where the main character feels like he’s missed out. While on a night out with his friends, who choose to stop drinking, he has too much to drink and gets a visit from the Department of Lost Nights – a group of workmen who come into his head and repossess his memories. In the morning he wakes up with a hangover and a sense of loss.
We provide information, advice, research and resources to help prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm and inspire New Zealanders to make better decisions about drinking alcohol.
