Heavy drinking can cause disruptions in everyday life, but it also has a long-term impact and can lead to depression, cancer, and liver disease.

Lower My Drinking will give you the expert advice and scientifically-proven tools you need to reduce your drinking to the recommended limit of 14 units a week or less. The app is free to download and use for anyone who lives or works in Cheshire and Merseyside (and can be accessed by inputting a postcode). The app, designed by clinical psychologists and behavioural scientists, gives advice, and uses scientifically proven tools to reduce drinking to the recommended limit of 14 units a week or less.
