Of course the City is a great place to socialise. Other strategies for lower alcohol drinking when you are out and about are:


• Consider asking for a small glass of wine: as well as serving wine in smaller 175ml glasses, some bars serve 125ml glasses of wine.


• Drink spritzers if you like wine or pints of shandy if you are a lager drinker. You will get a large drink, but one that contains less alcohol.


• How about opting for half pints if you prefer higher strength lager or trying lower strength beer you really won’t notice the difference.


• It is a good idea to alternate alcoholic drinks with soft drinks


ce cases involve alcohol.


• Ask questions. If you are still uncertain about how much you are drinking, ask the bar staff. Do they pour doubles or singles? How big is their large glass of wine?
