The recommendations of the Board of Health are based on a low risk consumption of alcohol to give its citizens better advice about alcohol. The Board of Health indicates that women should not drink more than 7 drinks a week and men no more than 14 drinks a week.

The Danish Health Authority recommend that you should not drink more than 10 units of alcohol a week and no more than 4 units of alcohol at the same day.

You drink more than what is good for you

Before you go on, think about if you know these feeling:

    I get exhausted quickly, when I walk, ride a bike og carry things I am in a bad mood without any particular reason I prefer to be on my own rather than spent time with family and friends I wake up at night and feel sick

Drinking too much may cause or worsen any of these feelings.


Limit your drinking now

Only 1 in 10 danes drink as much as you do, but you can limit your drinking now by doing one of these things:

    Stop drinking on workdays Substitute every other drink with either water, coffee or sodas Spend time with friends and family that you normally don’t drink alcohol with

You don’t need to do all of these things at once. Choose one of them and stick to it for a month. You will stop thinking about it quickly and after a month, take the test again.

Your drinking is harmful

People see and feel that your drinking is harmful to you, even when you are trying to hide it.

You are drink so much that your family and friends notice it.

The signs are much more obvious than you may think. At a dinner with friends, you are likely to be the one drinking the most.

Only one in ten Danes drink as much as you do. People around you may perceive you as loud and unpredictable.

Control you drinking with a new plan

Within a few months and with the right help, you will be able to limit your drinking to an amount, that isn’t harmful to you or the people around you.

A plan could look something like this:

An hourly session that focuses on you

A weekly meeting for two hours for the next 12 weeks, to give you the tools to limit your drinking

A final session to support your newfound drinking habits, so the people around you can continue to enjoy your company.

Plan your success

Your chance of succeeding is much greater when you make a plan that fits you and your life. We can help you make that plan if you call us – free and anonymously.

You likely suffer from alcohol dependency

You are drinking so much that you need professional help now. You will not get over the negative feelings and the guilt that you feel towards the people around you. You will continue to be worried about harming yourself and without help you will not overcome the fear of failing to stop drinking.

You should know that those feelings are completely normal. Others in the same situation go through exactly the same. But know that those negative feelings make it close to impossible for you to stop drinking without professional help.

This is what you need to do

You have already taken the first step by taking the test. The result is serious, but there is a way out. You need to get the right treatment.

You can do it

You don't even need to change your daily routines. I can be very difficult to cut down drinking by yourself. Consider if free and anonimous treatment is right for you - 9 out of 10 peopele in your situation are happy with the help they have received.

You can do it!

Every year serveral hundred people in your situation go through treatment that makes them feel better and gives them energy to be with family and friends.

There is also treatment for you that will help you get better, even if you have tried and not succeeded to stop drinking before.

Chances that you will succeeed will rise, if you try again.

Do you know someone you drinks too much? They would be happy for your support! The worst feeling for people who drink too much, is to realize they have a problem and to do something about it alone.

Here are six tips for a familymember or friend to have a talk with one who drinks too much:

    Who and when
    It is important to consider who should be present and where the talk should take place. Find the right time
    Make sure to find the time of day where the person is not drunk or suffering from withdrawal. Concern rather than anger
    The motivation for a talk should be concern and not anger. Use sentences like ”I am talking to you about this, because I am worried about you” Separate the alcohol from the person
    Try and separate the alcohol from the person by using sentences like "What alcohol does to you is..." Use I language
    Use I-language and stay with your point of view. Be clear about your feeling, your thoughts and your needs. Talk about your losses due to the alcohol. Recognize the god and the healthy
    Avoid focussing on faults and mistakes.
