l Have some food before you drink

l Drink plenty of water to make your night last longer

l Get more out of your weekend by making sure you drink responsibly

l Go for a smaller glass for a change

*Try a lower alcohol beer for a change

l To get a better idea of what you’re drinking, keep a drinking diary

l Choose at least two alcohol-free days per week.
