Making a resolution to reassess your drinking habits on January first can seem like an easy decision after a hectic party season. However making this resolution last past those January blues is the tough part.
“Knowing the reason why you want to drink more responsibly will really help you to stay focused,” said Fionnuala Sheehan, drinkaware.ie chief executive. “Maybe you want to get fitter, save money, or you may be worried about how alcohol is affecting your relationships. Committing your resolution and reasons to paper will help keep you on track.
“The online drinks diary and calculator on the drinkaware.ie website is a useful tool for anyone looking to reassess their drinking habits,” Ms Sheehan added. “The diary allows registered users to track how many standard drinks they’re consuming, as well as calculate the cost and calories of drinks. The diary also provides feedback and recommendations based on the number of drinks inputted.”
