Aids to help you identify your drinking

*Drinking Diary

It is sometimes hard to see whether your drinking has become excessive, but there are some methods you can use to find out.  

Firstly you can fill in a drinking diary to see if you are exceeding the recommended amounts of alcohol per day and per week.

If you do find that you are drinking more than the 3-4 units (for a man)/ 2-3 units (for a woman) a day then maybe it is time to try and cut down on your drinking.  The way in which you can do this are:

*Exchanging alcoholic drinks for non-alcoholic ones

*Watering down the alcohol (E.g. white wine spritzer)

*Cutting down on your drinking

*Getting external help (See useful contacts)
