Beer is currently one of the most popular alcoholic drinks. Many people find that a couple of bottles of beer after work can help relieve irritability and fatigue. However, over time, drinking beer turns into a bad habit that is not so easy to fight.
Awareness of the problem
The problem is that after some time of regular consumption of beer for relaxation, a person simply cannot rest without a couple of bottles of beer, and then two or three bottles are too few, and the person begins to drink beer in too large quantities, which, of course, affects his health.
The idea of giving up beer is undoubtedly a good one. However, many people simply cannot implement it. Of course, you can simply forbid yourself to drink beer, but more often than not, such prohibitions last until the first party with friends, so you need to act a little more subtly.
First, you need to identify and formulate the reasons why you want to give up beer. Unfortunately, the negative impact of beer is difficult to exaggerate. Firstly, the heart suffers very seriously from this drink, especially with regular use. Secondly, the belly grows noticeably from it. Thirdly, beer can cause impotence because it suppresses the production of male sex hormones.
Sequencing
Once you've identified the reasons why you want to quit beer, you need to make a clear and concise plan. Of course, you can immediately stop drinking beer, but few are capable of such feats, as a result, such a refusal is valid until the first party. It is best to make a plan whereby you will gradually reduce the amount of beer you drink. Give yourself six months to quit this habit. During the first month, drink beer no more than once a week, during the second and third months, drink beer once every two weeks, respectively, in the remaining months, try to drink beer even less often.
To make it easier to follow your plan, understand what your personal reason for using this drink is. More often than not, people drink beer to kill boredom, relieve stress, or relax. Having found this reason, try to replace drinking beer with walks, watching movies, arrange for yourself regular cultural leisure, diversify your life. A more active lifestyle will allow you to give up beer as the only way to relax.
Learn to set boundaries for yourself and abide by the terms of the contract with yourself. If you are meeting with friends in a pub or bar, consider for yourself that during such gatherings you should not drink more than two or three glasses of beer. Keep yourself in control, do not let the control weaken, over time, such self-restraint will be much easier for you.
