Planning for your care begins when you are admitted to hospital.

Your health care team will develop a plan of care that is right for you. In some cases, this may include a transfer to another Island hospital where you will continue to receive the care you need.

Less is best!

You can reduce your drinking in steps! Remember, any reduction helps lower your health risks. Every little bit counts.

There are simple things that can help you drink at a level that’s right for you:

◾ Stick to the limits you’ve set for yourself.

◾ Drink slowly.

◾ Drink lots of water.

◾ For every drink of alcohol, have one non-alcoholic drink.

◾ Consider alcohol-free or low-alcohol beverages.

◾ Eat before and while you’re drinking.

◾ Explore alcohol-free weeks or do alcohol-free activities.
