Glass Half Full

Pour or order half measures to reduce your alcohol units, calories and spending.

About Glass Half Full

Smaller measures, fewer units

Try pouring or ordering half your usual measure of a drink you enjoy. It’s a manageable way to reduce the alcohol units and calories in each drink and could help you spend less.

Making a deliberate choice about how much you pour can help you cut down while keeping a familiar routine.

Wine-Free Weekdays

Drink no alcohol from Monday to Friday to reduce your weekly units, break daily habits and save money.

About Wine-Free Weekdays

Break daily habits

Keep Monday to Friday alcohol-free to give your body a break and change the rhythm of daily drinking. Planning those days in advance can help you be more deliberate about when you drink.

Drinking less overall can lower your weekly units and calorie intake and support your physical and mental health.

How could this challenge benefit you?

  1. Save money
  2. Better mental health
  3. Weight loss
  4. Wake up feeling refreshed
  5. Say goodbye to hangxiety

Alcohol-Free House

Stop buying and keeping alcohol at home to reduce temptation and break at-home drinking habits.

About Alcohol-Free House

Drinking at home can lead to long-term habits that are hard to control. Alcohol is often cheaper and more readily available at home, and self-poured drinks can contain more units than you expect.

Keeping alcohol out of the house can help break the cycle and make it easier to change your routine.

Free online coaching

If you live in an eligible area, you can book free online coaching to support you through your January challenge.

A coach can help you choose a challenge, understand your drinking habits and find practical advice tailored to your circumstances.

What to expect from coaching

Talk with an experienced specialist in a confidential, supportive setting. You can work towards your own goals, whether you want to cut back, stop drinking or understand the part alcohol plays in your life.

Book a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends. Join privately from home or anywhere you have an internet connection.

Book a session when you’re ready to take the first step.
