    1. Limit your drinking to no more than 1 drink a day for women or 2 drinks a day for men.
    2. Keep track of how much you drink.
    3. Choose a day each week when you will not drink.
    4. Don’t drink when you are upset.
    5. Limit the amount of alcohol you keep at home.
    6. Avoid places where people drink a lot.
    7. Make a list of reasons not to drink. If you are concerned about someone else’s drinking, offer to help.
