Alcohol Change UK is a charity working to create a world free from serious alcohol harm.

Drinking alcohol can leave us with poor sleep, low energy, increased anxiety and generally feeling out of sorts. It also increases our risk of many serious health conditions, including breast cancer. Yet it’s continually sold to us and glamourised as a central part of our daily life – from brunches and birthdays to post-gym treats and after-work rewards.

The alcohol industry, like the to***co industry previously, like to gloss over the risks their products cause to our health and wellbeing, including its links with cancer.

But the upside is drinking less alcohol can give us better sleep, improved mood, brighter skin, better weight management, and more energy, as well as lots of long-term health benefits including reduced cancer risk.

So, this whether out and about or enjoying a cosy night in, trying out other ways to socialise, reward ourselves, or wind down could be a helpful way in starting to change some habits.

It’s time we were told the truth about alcohol and sharing this with a friend or family member can help in telling a new story about the impact alcohol can have on our health and wellbeing and the benefits of cutting down. 💌

Why 100 days? We called in the expert for this one! Dr Jeevan is the scientific mind behind our new 100 day experiment.🧑‍🔬

Whether it be situations we drink in or a mood we drink to change — our everyday actions shape our behaviour.

Our 100 day experiment isn't a single push to go completely alcohol-free, but a chance to notice what's actually driving your drinking, and to test out changes that fit your life, not someone else's rulebook. That way, the changes you make can really stick.

Sign up to 100 Days Your Way for free and hear more from our expert, Dr Jeevan👇

As many students begin a new year of university, whether it's their first or last, it's an important time to think about how alcohol affects student life, whether we drink or not.🎓📚

While alcohol is often seen as central to student culture, the reality is much more diverse. We explore culture, binge drinking, the impacts of alcohol and how students can stay safe and reduce risks.

Understanding alcohol's impact can help us make more informed choices and get the most from student life. Find out more on our website⬇️

Did you know 4 pints of b**r in one single occasion counts as binge drinking?

With so much misinformation out there, we're going back to basics and sharing some 'need to know' facts on just how much alcohol is in each drink!📚✏️

So, today we're talking about units and binge drinking.🔢🍺

When you hear the word binge drinking you often imagine someone drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, many are surprised to find out what a binge actually looks like.

Alcohol can creep up on us all, especially when we're not sure how much we're drinking. Some people build up a tolerance to alcohol too, so 4 pints or 3 large glasses of w**e might not seem like a lot when you're out with your mates.

Head to our website to use our unit calculator and find out how you can cut down on your drinking.⬇️

Introducing 100 Days Your Way, our new free guided alcohol experiment! ✉️✨

There’s no pass or fail, and you don’t have to be alcohol-free for 100 days - it's your chance to understand more about your drinking habits and experiment. What matters is what you learn along the way.

So, whether you want to drink less, take more days off, change when or why you drink, explore going alcohol-free, or simply feel more aware and in control of your relationship with alcohol, 100 Days Your Way is the perfect option for you.

With it being exactly 100 days to the New Year, we couldn't think of a better time to pause and reflect on your drinking as we enter a new season and finish out 2026.
