Weight Control
If you drink alcohol, you could be taking in hundreds of empty calories every week, leading to a steady, unhealthy weight gain.
Healthy, low-calorie:Drink more non-alcoholic, low-calorie beverages (e.g., sparkling water with lemon).
Drink “spacers”:Space out alcoholic drinks to make every other one a non-alcoholic drink.
The company you keep:Try to avoid or limit being around people who drink a lot of alcohol.
Helpful distractions:Find a healthy, distracting activity to do like a hobby or physical activity, if you get the urge to drink.
