Every route to changing your drinking in the UK, side by side: cutting down or stopping, rehab, the four medicines doctors use, The Sinclair Method, therapy and support groups, NHS or private.

What if the problem was never honesty itself, but what happens after someone says, “I want a drink”? A powerful new way to understand cravings, alcohol, and real change.

Society has a complicated relationship with alcohol. It’s celebrated, normalised; woven into nearly every occasion: births, business meetings, dates, parties. Yet when someone develops a problem with the same substance - reaction changes completely.

The Sinclair Method doesn't ask you to stop drinking first. But stopping or cutting down too fast can be dangerous if your body depends on alcohol. How to tell, and what to do first.

Understanding what you're drinking, and how much, is the first step in regaining control. Rethink Drink's free UK alcohol units calculator helps, whether you're sober curious or already on The Sinclair Method.

But as society changes, and science advances, many are asking: is AA becoming outdated?
