Tips On Cutting Down Alcohol Consumption

If you often consume more than 14 units of alcohol each week, here are some easy strategies to help you reduce your intake.

14 units is roughly equal to 6 pints of regular-strength beer or 6 medium glasses of wine.

Tips for Cutting Back

  1. Create a Plan
    Decide on a limit for your drinking before you start.
  2. Set a Budget
    Take only a set amount of money for alcohol, so you don’t go over your budget.
  3. Inform Others
    Tell your friends and family about your plan to cut back—they can provide support.
  4. Take It Day by Day
    Gradually reduce your consumption each day. Every small reduction counts as progress.
  5. Opt for Smaller Portions
    Enjoy a drink but choose smaller servings, like bottled beer instead of pints or a small glass of wine instead of a large one.
  6. Choose Lower-Strength Alcohol
    Pick drinks with a lower alcohol by volume (ABV), which is listed on the label.
  7. Stay Hydrated
    Drink a glass of water before having alcohol, and alternate alcoholic drinks with water or other non-alcoholic beverages.
  8. Take Alcohol-Free Days
    Schedule a few alcohol-free days each week to give your body a break.
