Less alcohol means less health risk
Alcohol contributes to health risks even when it is part of a social routine.
Reducing alcohol intake reduces exposure to alcohol-related health risks. Avoid alcohol completely when driving, operating machinery, during pregnancy, or when it conflicts with a medicine or medical condition.
If you find it difficult to reduce drinking or experience withdrawal symptoms, seek professional support rather than stopping suddenly without advice when dependence may be present.
