If you choose to drink, have only a moderate amount.

This means no more than 1 drink a day for women and 2 drinks a day for men. Here are some strategies that can help you cut back or stop drinking.


				Set a drinking limit — for example, choose to have no more than 3 drinks per week.



				Take at least 1 day off from drinking each week.



				Don’t drink when you are upset.



				Avoid places where people drink a lot, like bars.



				Don’t keep a lot of alcohol at home.



				Make a list of reasons to drink less or quit — and keep it with you.


				Learn about drinking only in moderation.
