  At Home Henrietta

  Hennrietta loves to have a glass of something special to signify the end of her busy day. Whether she's been juggling all the kids activities, she’s had a hard day at work or she’s just been busy doing 'all the things', having that drink is how she begins to wind down. Henrietta enjoys her tipple most days of the week. Life is for living and one glass a day is better than drinking too much at the weekend. Henrietta loves her family dearly and always puts them first, she cares and works hard at keeping everybody happy and fulfilled. After a weekend of fun filled activities and organising there’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of something while cooking dinner or getting into her PJ’s and snuggling up on the sofa in front of the telly with something special in her favourite glass.Her intention is usually just the one but sometimes it’s all too easy to have a second when we’re drinking at home. The first one always goes down far too easily, and sometimes we want to indulge in just one more! DID YOU KNOWIf you were to add up the total number of units you consume over 7 days it’s likely to be more than the recommended 14 units; that’s just six 175ml glasses of wine, six pints of beer or 14 single shots of spirit! Have you added up how much you’re actually drinking on a week to week basis? Here’s two things you can do to help keep your drinking balanced.1. Plan in a couple of alcohol free days. Check which days are going to be the easiest to do and mark them in your diary so you are committed to them. Have your favourite alcohol free drink stashed in the fridge so you can enjoy it in your favourite glass the same way you would an alcoholic drink. 2. Plan to do something different at your usual trigger time. Take a nice bath, go for a walk, do a meditation, do an extra gym class or go for a swim. If you need to stay at home to look after children maybe play a 15 minute game that you wouldn’t normally get time to play or read them a story, bake a delicious treat to enjoy the next day together or that they can look forward to in their lunch box.

  Party Patty

  Party Patty loves an occasion and wouldn’t miss the opening of an envelope nevermind a party! She’s a very sociable lady and is busy most weekends with an invite to at least one event. Even if it’s a week day you can always count on Party Patty to be there! Everyone loves to have Patty around, she always brings a bottle or two with her to share with friends no matter what day of the week it is; she’s the life and soul and always has a drinking game or two up her sleeve to keep everyone entertained. Party Patty is usually drunk by the end of the evening, her energy seems to know no bounds and she’s always the last one to leave with a flamboyant exit and promises of more fun next time round. After getting a kebab on the way home she usually spends Sunday on the Sofa eating recovery food and hoping she feels better by Monday before returning to work!Patty definitely has more than the recommended 14 units of alcohol each week which is just six 175ml glasses of wine, six pints of beer or 14 single measures of spirits. Here’s a couple of useful tips to help Party Patty on her nights out and stave off those hangovers.1. Drink a glass of water between each drink at a house party or if you are Out Out, each time you go to the bar ask for a glass of water too. If you don’t want the others to know you can always neck it there or you can take it back to your table, put it in front of your alcoholic drink so you reach for it first and sip it slowly, if you’re clever with it you may even be able to dodge the next round too. 2. When it’s your round opt for an alcohol free alternative. Choose just a coke instead of a rum/vodka and coke or just tonic instead of a gin and tonic. Ask the barman to put all the usual trimmings in it so it doesn’t look any different to the alcoholic version. Instead of prosecco choose sparkling water and ask the barman to put a raspberry in everyone’s glass so they all have a pink hue, no-one will notice the colour difference! Feeling curious?

  Moderation Meredith

  Meredith likes a drink every now and again, she knows what she likes and likes what she knows whether it’s the odd drink at home or one or two at a party to celebrate an occasion. Meredith is happy to join in with the fun but also knows her limits and won’t be swayed otherwise. Meredith doesn’t really like the feeling of being drunk and the resulting hangover is no fun for anyone. She likes to enjoy her free time with her friends and family and they respect her for being someone who knows her limits (and they secretly wish they could be like Meredith too and not drink quite as much as they do!). Well done, it seems like you have it all under control. Keep up the good work! Feeling curious? Want to know more or just want to sit on the sidelines and see what others have to say?

  Weekend Wendy

  Weekend Wendy very rarely drinks during the week. She’s got very strict boundaries about when and how often she drinks alcohol so she feels very in control. The weekend is the time for letting your hair down, relaxing and enjoying yourself after a hard week at work or with the kids. Weekend Wendy doesn’t really monitor her drinks at the weekend but instead follows the rule “Everything in Moderation”, if she abstains Monday to Thursday she allows herself to be free of limits at the weekend. Wendy very often feels like she may have had more than she intended but doesn’t really keep track, sometimes she lets loose so much she drinks enough to feel drunk and has to suffer the consequences of a hangover and other times she feels merry and happy and the only consequences are just feeling meh the next day and not like doing very much at all. Weekend Wendy LOVES recovery food!Weekend Wendy very often has more than the recommended 14 units of alcohol each weekend - Did you know that's just six 175ml glasses of wine, six pints of beer or 14 single measures of spirits?

  Workaholic Willow

  Workaholic Winifred is a career girl. She works long hours and works hard. Winifred joins her colleagues for a drink after work, even if she doesn’t really fancy it, it’s the done thing and a way to celebrate deals of the day. She easily sinks one or two before trundling on home. When Winifred needs to work an extra hour or too at home she will happily settle down with her laptop and a glass of something special, the drink helps her relax so she can carry on working late into the evening whilst still having some ‘me’ time. Whilst the general belief is it’s better to drink alcohol slow and steady in small quantities, rather than binge drinking all your units in one night, lets face it, most of the time it’s not just the one glass! It’s all too easy to have a second drink when we’re drinking at home. The first one always goes down far too easily, encouraging us to have more. If you were to add up the total number of units you consume over 7 days it’s likely to be more than the recommended 14 units; that’s just six 175ml glasses of wine, six pints of beer or 14 single measures of spirits. Have you added up how much you’re actually drinking on a week to week basis? Here’s two things you can do to reduce your habit-drinking.1. Plan in a couple of alcohol free days. Check which days are going to be the easiest to do this and mark them in your diary so you are committed to them. Have your favourite alcohol free drink stashed in the fridge ready for when you get home so you can reach for it if you need to and enjoy it in your favourite glass the same way you would an alcoholic drink. 2. Have an excuse ready for not joining your work colleagues. “I’ve booked an extra gym class this week” or “I’m joining a friend for a swim”. As a longer term solution book a challenge you need to train for, you can still join your colleagues but it will give you the excuse to choose an alcohol free alternative. Feeling curious?
