"Expert Bartender's Guide to Successful Alcohol Reduction"

Derek Brown, a former bartender with 22 years of experience, has developed a guide to help individuals cut back on alcohol consumption in a way that works for them. His method, called the RATE method, includes strategies such as replacing alcoholic drinks with nonalcoholic alternatives, avoiding tempting environments, tempering consumption by opting for low-alcohol drinks, and eliciting help from an accountability partner. Brown emphasizes that mindful drinking is a personal choice and doesn't mean skipping social events or time with loved ones. The goal is to gradually reduce alcohol consumption without making drastic changes.
