Take Action!

Try to limit your drinking to no more than:

  • One drink a day for women
  • Two drinks a day for men

Keep track of your drinking.
First, set a drinking limit. For example, you may decide to have no more than 3 drinks per week.

  • Step 1: Write down your drinking limit on a piece of paper.
  • Step 2: Keep track of your drinking. Write down every time you have a drink for one week. Use a diary like this one or make your own.

Take a day off from drinking.
Choose a day each week (for example, Tuesday) when you will not drink.
