Take an alcohol pledge
Alcohol Free Week begins on the 25th of February. This also marks
the beginning of Lent, when observers traditionally abstain from an indulgence such
as drinking for 40 days and 40 nights.
While we are not asking you to go that far, we would like you to get involved in
Alcohol Free Week by making a small promise to yourself to mark the event.
The pledge you make is entirely up to you: It could be to not drink for a day, a
week, a month. Maybe you would just prefer to drink one less glass of wine a week;
small measure or big change, it’s your choice.
The idea of the pledge is simple. We hope that by making this sacrifice you will
be encouraged to think about what you drink, how you drink, why you drink and to
take stock of the role that alcohol plays in your life.
You don’t have to have a drink problem to feel the benefits of drinking less alcohol.
You will feel healthier and you could save money.

Alcohol is high in calories, yet contains almost no nutritional benefits. For example,
a bottle of wine contains around 600 calories. In exercise terms, it would take
a 10 stone person over 2 hours running at 4mph to burn off the same amount of calories.
If beer is your preferred drink, a pint of lager or bitter contains about 250 calories.
A large double measure of spirits is likely to set you back around 150 calories
too.
It’s not just your waistline that can be affected badly by drinking too much; 10
pints of lager a week can cost £25. Over the course of a year, this works out to
be £1,300. £20 spent on four bottles of wine a week will set you back £1,040.
Abstinence is not for everyone, but switching to lower alcohol versions of your
favourite drinks can help to reduce your calorific intake significantly, not to
mention reducing your hangover.
Drinking less will help you sleep better and will reduce the risk of getting a variety
of nasty diseases, including cancers of the breast, mouth, throat, bowel and liver.
Cutting down drinking can help to reduce high blood pressure; improve the quality
of your sleep; reduce anxiety and improve memory.
