How can I reduce my drinking?

How can I reduce my drinking? What does the science say about the best approach?
What have you tried before? That's always a good place to start. And what kind of drinker are you?
  • Heavy and Steady?
  • Binge Drinker?
  • Addicted or Dependent?
  • Heavy Social Drinker?

There is no one size fits all answer - but research does provide some clues.

The biggest study ever done was “Project MATCH” and although it was over thirty years ago the findings still guide treatment today.

Some people will do better if they stop completely and remain abstinent, others can stop for a while and then become “controlled drinkers” and others can slowly cut down.


The starting point is making a plan - Drinkbreak has been designed to help you do this.
