DrinkCoach
Do you want to change your drinking habits but aren’t sure where to start?
We all know how tough it can be to stay on top of our health, especially during times of stress. It’s easy to overdo it and lose track of our drinking habits. There are moments when we may overindulge in alcohol. It happens, and that’s okay. But it’s important to know your limits and take care of yourself.
It isn’t isn’t always easy to open up about our alcohol use, but finding out more about alcohol and how it affects us, can help us take better control of our drinking and improve our health and wellbeing.
Take DrinkCoach’s quick and confidential test to help you easily keep track of your drinking and get personalised advice online:
