Alcohol Management

Most of our clients do not want to stop drinking altogether but they do want to take control of their drinking and reduce their alcohol intake to a safe limit. This is usually for health and / or behavioural reasons, or if their work or relationships are being adversely affected by excess alcohol. Whatever your particular reason for wanting to reduce your alcohol intake, hypnotherapy offers you the opportunity to regain control.

Many people reach for an alcoholic drink out of habit or as a way to relax at the end of a long day. We help clients deal with the stress and provide them with techniques and tools in order to help them manage their stress in the future.

You will only make the changes that you want to make, leaving you very much in control. Some clients decide to reduce their alcohol intake to an occasional social drink or only have alcohol at the weekend. Some decide to give up all together!

If you would like to find out more about our Alcohol Management Programme, or would like to book a Initial Consultation (which is free of charge and without any obligation) please call evive on 0118 973 3094 or click here to email us.

In the meantime, why not use the BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) calculator below to calculate your alcohol intake for your last big night out, and then look at the ‘Possible Effects. Remember, BE HONEST with yourself - honesty is the first step to taking control of any situation!

Are You In Control Of Your Drinking?

Blood Alcohol Content	Possible Effects
.02% to .04%	Lightheaded - Mildly relaxed, mood may be mildly intensified
.05% to .07%	Buzzed - Feel warm and relaxed, good moods are better and bad moods are worse, euphoria, may talk louder/act bolder than usual
.08% to .10%	Legally Impaired - May slur speech, balance/motor skills become impaired, sight/hearing ability clearly diminished, judgement/self-control impaired, may take poor/risky sexual choices.
.11% to .15%	Drunk - "High," balance very impaired, judgement, memory and motor skills impaired, may forget how many drinks you have had past this point, men may have trouble functioning sexually.
.16% to .19%	Very Drunk - Euphoria may give way to unpleasant feelings (depression), difficulty talking/walking/standing, sharp increase in chances of physically injuring yourself or others, may experience a blackout at this level or higher, nausea, dizzy, blurred vision.
.20%	Confusion and Disorientation - May need help to stand or walk; if you hurt yourself, you probably won't realize it because the alcohol has numbed your pain and your judgement is so impaired you might not do anything about it; nausea and vomiting common, getting very dangerous because gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you do throw up (especially if you black out).
.30%	Stupor - Likely to pass out involuntarily (as opposed to lower BAC's where you may decide to stop drinking and go to sleep); if pass out, may be difficult for others to wake you; possible to die from alcohol poisoning or choking on vomit at this level and higher
.35%	Equivalent to general anesthesia, breathing may stop.
.40%	Coma likely, breathing and heartbeat slowed to dangerous levels due to slowdown in nerve activity.
