Simple tips to help you cut down your drinking

Men should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units a day

Women should not regularly drink more than 2-3 units a day

'Regularly' means drinking these amounts every day or most days of the week.

Make a plan. Before you start drinking, set yourself a limit on how much you’re going to drink.
Set yourself a budget. Only take a fixed amount of money to spend on alcohol.
Let them 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.
Take it a day at a time. Try and 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 or a small glass of wine.
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.
Skip a drink. Try drinking a soft drink in between an alcoholic drink.
Stay hydrated. Drink a pint of water before you start drinking, and avoid using alcohol to quench your thirst. Have a soft drink instead.
Take a break. Have the odd day each week when you don’t have an alcoholic drink.
