What happens to my body when I stop drinking wine?
It depends on how much alcohol you regularly consume in the first place. Heavy drinkers may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as shaky hands, night sweats, and anxiety, when they first stop drinking. Your healthcare provider can offer advice and treatment to manage these symptoms and help you stop drinking. Nonetheless, anyone can reap the benefits of giving up alcohol—whether you drink a lot or just a little. Some health benefits you may experience include a stronger heart and liver, a healthier weight, improved sleep, and enhanced mood and focus throughout the day. And, of course, your wallet will be heavier and happier!
Is a bottle of wine a day too much?
Yes, a bottle of wine a day is generally considered too much. This will, of course, depend on the ABV of the bottle. But a typical 750ml bottle of wine at an ABV of 12.5-13.5% is equal to 7-8 standard drinks. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting your alcohol intake to two drinks or less per day for men and one drink or less in a day for women. Considering this, you can see that the standard bottle of wine surpasses this limit.
Is it okay to drink wine every night?
It is okay to enjoy wine every night, but this depends on how much you drink. Though the NHS has noted no 'safe level' of drinking, moderate drinking is still considered low-risk. The CDC has also suggested that moderate drinking may not have protective health effects, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, as popularly believed. In any case, the less you drink, the less likely you'll deal with associated health issues. So, during each drinking session, try your best to be mindful of how much and how quickly you drink. And if you don't want to stop drinking wine altogether, Sunnyside can help you nurture healthier habits without quitting.
What's the best way to stop drinking wine?
There's no 'gold-standard' shortcut to stop drinking. Each person's journey is unique, so it may take some experimenting for you to discover strategies that work in your favor. Some solid tips to get you started include creating an action plan and putting it down in writing. On that note, the Sunnyside app will develop an optimized weekly action plan based on your goals and preferences. You can also track your drinking through the app. To further boost success, it's best to guard against everyday temptations. Try to avoid certain bars and restaurants (especially during Happy Hour) and keep busy with other hobbies and pastimes. You may need to find a new group of friends, too!

These guys are not trying to change you, just your drinking habits.
When I first started I was a bit leery about the whole thing. I am 70 years old and retired and didn’t think that I needed someone to tell me how much to drink. So I took the 15 day free trial and found out that it really helped me control my drinking. These guys are not trying to change you, just your drinking habits, which has help me a lot. Sometimes I would drink just to drink and that came to a stop. I still do what I want to do, I'm just doing it differently and it really working well for me. - Rene
The transition was easy
Over the last two years I became a bit of a heavy drinker. After 84 days with Sunnyside, I'm now a moderate drinker, on my way to becoming a social drinking. The transition was easier than I thought. -Ted
I cannot believe it actually worked.
I've been trying to cut back on my drinking for years and this is the only way I've actually done it. I'm so extremely happy with just the mindfulness that it has provided me. It's not judgy. It doesn't make you quit immediately. It is just a way to cut back and be mindful of your drinking and I really appreciate it. It's honestly transformed my life. -Stefani
