What can I do now?

If you would like to cut down, here are some tips:

• Work out a personal limit per day, per week or per occasion - and stick to it.
• Do more activities that don't involve drinking.
• Ring the Alcohol Drug Helpline: 0800 787 797 for free, confidential advice and resources to help you cut down.

When socialising with friends or family:

• Eat before you drink and while you're drinking.
• Have some non-alcoholic drinks.
• Don't allow others to top up your drinks.
• Count your drinks.
• Tell your friends that you are cutting down.
