If you regularly drink more than the recommended limits, try these simple tips to help you cut down.
Always Planning
Before you start drinking, set a limit on how much you’re going to drink.
Cut Down Your Budget
Only take a fixed amount of money to spend on alcohol.

Let Others know
If you let your friends and family know you’re cutting down and that it’s important to you, you could get support from them.

Try Cut Down a Little Bit Every Day
Cut back a little each day. That way, every day you do is a success.

Make it a Smaller One
You can still enjoy a drink but go for smaller sizes. Try bottled beer instead of pints, or a small glass of wine instead of a large one.
Smaller Cup does not make you look stupid |
Have a Lower-Strength Drink
Cut down the alcohol by swapping strong beers or wines for ones with a lower strength (ABV in %). You'll find this information on the bottle.
Try something not that strong |
Always Stay Hydrated
Drink a pint of water before you start drinking, and don't use alcohol to quench your thirst. Have a soft drink instead.
Water is a better Thirst killer |
Take a break
Have the odd day each week when you don’t have an alcoholic drink.

Benefits of Cutting Down The Alcohols
The immediate effects of cutting down include:
- feeling better in the mornings
- being less tired during the day
- your skin may start to look better
- you’ll start to feel fitter
- you may stop gaining weight
Long-term benefits include:
Better Mood Each Day
There’s a strong link between heavy drinking and depression, and hangovers often make you feel anxious and low. If you already feel anxious or sad, drinking can make this worse, so cutting down may put you in a better mood generally.

You Get Better Sleep
Drinking can affect your sleep. Although it can help some people fall asleep quickly, it can disrupt your sleep patterns and stop you from sleeping deeply. So cutting down on alcohol should help you feel more rested when you wake up.
Nothing compare to a nice sleep |
Your Behaviour Turns Good
Drinking can affect your judgement and behaviour. You may behave irrationally or aggressively when you’re drunk. Memory loss can be a problem during drinking and in the long term for regular heavy drinkers.
Mom, you are the best |
Your Heart will be More Happier
Long-term heavy drinking can lead to your heart becoming enlarged. This is a serious condition that can’t be completely reversed, but stopping drinking can stop it getting worse.

Better Immune system
Regular drinking can affect your immune system. Heavy drinkers tend to catch more infectious diseases.
Drinking guidelines
- Men should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units of alcohol a day
- Women should not regularly drink more than 2-3 units a day
- If you've had a heavy drinking session, avoid alcohol for 48 hours
"Regularly" means drinking this amount every day or most days of the week.
