What are the 'two simple ways' to reduce the amount of alcohol?
by
People who have had the experience of sworn to themselves that they would never drink alcohol after having a painful drink, but then drank it, or encouraged someone close to them to save alcohol and push their arms to the goodwill. There should be many. Even if you know that 'drinking causes atrophy of the brain even if the amount is appropriate ' and that ' drinking alcohol is bad for your health overall ', it is difficult to save alcohol. However, new research has shown that the combination of two simple methods can reduce alcohol intake.

There's One Simple Method That Works to Reduce Alcohol Intake, Scientists Say

Simone Pettigrew, a professor studying the relationship between drinking and health problems at The George Institute for Global Health , an Australian medical institute, said to investigate how alcohol intake can be reduced. We conducted an experiment with about 8,000 Australians who drink habitually.
In the experiment, the participants were roughly divided into the following 6 groups.
1. 1.
2. A group that decides the amount of drinking and strictly adheres to it
3. 3. A group that decides how much to drink but can compromise
Four. A group that only counts the amount of drinking
Five. A group watching a government-created TV ad for a sake-saving campaign
6. A group that combines any of 2 to 4 with 5.
In addition, the TV advertisement for the alcohol-saving campaign used in the experiment said that 'drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer even if it is an appropriate amount.'
The research team conducted an online survey of the participants divided into each group, 'at the time of the first survey,' 'three weeks after the first survey,' and 'six weeks after the first survey,' for a total of three times. I investigated the transition of. As a result, it was found that among the 6th group, the group that combined the two methods of 'counting the amount of drinking + seeing the advertisement' was outstandingly reduced in the amount of drinking.
From this, Professor Pettigrew said, 'In fact, many people do not know that alcohol is a carcinogen, so this is important information that drinkers should be familiar with. However, alcohol causes cancer. It's not enough to tell you what you're going to do, but on the other hand, combining the practical actions of 'getting information about alcohol and cancer' and 'counting the amount you drank' will reduce your drinking. I found out. '
In a 2018 report on alcohol and health, WHO pointed out that 'about 7% of premature deaths are due to drinking,' and that alcohol intake must be reduced by at least 10% by 2025. I recommend that you do not. However, in Australia, per capita consumption of pure alcohol is at a high level of 9.5 liters per year. In Japan, it is reported that the number of people who drink habitually is decreasing, but it is still said that 14.6% of men and 9.1% of women have dangerous drinking habits.
From this point, Professor Pettigrew concluded, 'The results of this survey are new evidence in support of'investment in public education', which is effective in reducing alcohol damage for the entire population.' ..
