Liverpool residents wanting to cut down on alcohol can get free expert support through a new app that promotes a healthier lifestyle.
The ‘Lower My Drinking’ app is part of a new campaign urging people to “Rethink Your Drink.”
The app is available to anyone living or working in Liverpool. It offers expert advice tailored to individual goals and helps people stay motivated by tracking progress.
Around 90,000 adults binge drink each week in Liverpool, which can impact their health and well-being. Reducing alcohol can lead to better physical and mental health, weight loss, and financial savings.
The ‘Lower My Drinking’ app is for anyone who feels their alcohol intake is increasing and wants to reduce or modify the amount they drink.
The app offers practical techniques, advice and support to gradually reduce alcohol to the recommended limit of 14 units per week over three days.
The ‘Lower My Drinking’ app helps identify reasons for regular drinking and suggests strategies to manage them. It supports healthier lifestyle choices, and preparing for situations where drinking may be tempting. The app also offers guidance on staying relaxed and social without relying on alcohol.
