Drink less

Cut back on alcohol and feel better every day - it's easier to start than you think.

Reducing the amount of alcohol you drink can help you to sleep better, lose weight and lower your blood pressure - improving your health in both the short and long term.

If you want to cut down on alcohol, there are lots of small practical things you can do to start making changes. For support from a One You Kent advisor fill in our online referral form.

Learn to limit your drinking

Try to limit your weekly alcohol intake to 14 units, but don’t drink all your units at once.

You should also try to have at least 2 drink free days per week. Spread your drinking out over a few days if you drink as much as 14 units.

Try using Alcohol Change UK's unit calculator to work out how many units you drink. Or download the free Try Dry® app to help you cut down on your drinking or go totally alcohol-free.
