NIAAA’s “Rethinking Drinking” Web Site Offers Tools to Assess Risky Drinking

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has launched a new Web site to help people reduce their risk for alcohol problems. The Web site, entitled “Rethinking Drinking,” presents evidence-based information about risky drinking patterns, alcohol content, and the signs of an alcohol problem along with information about medications and other resources to help people cut back or quit drinking. The site also includes interactive tools, such as calculators to measure alcohol calories and drink sizes, and a free booklet containing information from the Web site that visitors can download and take with them.
