Drink alcohol responsibly
Most people have a drink with their meal or toast on special occasions. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as you can do without it.
If you can no longer do without it, then that can become a problem: you are then in danger of becoming dependent on alcohol. You can even become addicted to it.

Strange but true
Drinking alcohol makes you thirstier. This is because alcohol takes moisture out of your body. So alternate alcohol with a glass of soda or water. Or drink tea, water and soda for thirst and alcohol 'with it'.
Be aware of yourself
Do you drink for pleasure, or to drink away stress, or emotions such as being angry or sad? If you join Moti55 you can discuss this for free with an expert in your area.
Say no once in a while
Don't drink because someone else buys you another round, but make your own choices.
Adjust your pace
Are you always the first to empty your glass? Look at the pace of the others. Also try to be the last to empty your glass.
Do not drink together
Don't drink liquor and beer at the same time. Don't combine alcohol with other drugs.Sign up for Free support
