Remix Your Schedule
Most people have a predictable drinking routine, so note down the moments when you’re most likely to reach for a glass, says Jaeger. Always end up at the pub when you cross paths with a certain colleague? Pre-book a meal or gym class on those days. Do you cap off your Sunday 10k with a pint? Head out earlier and reroute to a cafe instead. It’ll spare you the added stress of practising self-control.
