Many of us drink alcohol for a variety of ever-changing reasons - to relax, to socialise, to de-stress, to have fun, to relieve boredom, to deal with feelings of loneliness, or to try and cope with (or avoid) problems.
But drinking too much and too often can cause or exacerbate all sorts of problems with our physical and mental health, and may begin to affect relationships with those who are close to us. Alcohol is also strongly associated with mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
Taking control of the amount that we drink is a good way to improve health and wellbeing.
