There is a new Alcohol Demotivator Tool surfacing on the Internet which helps those who consume alcohol regularly to quit.
The calculator helps users not to give into the temptations of drinking alcohol by clearly stating the potential consequences in the user’s life – regarding health and personal issues.
The online forum was created by Abbeycare Alcohol and Addictions Treatment Centres clinics in the United Kingdom (UK).
It is an an interactive calculator that helps people abstain from drinking alcohol when they feel tempted.
According to its website, it was designed to discourage continual long term drinking.
This is how it works:
• You enter your daily alcohol intake
• After you click the button, it will ask you what your gender is
• And then click on the ‘Demotivate Me’ button
The tool highlights a number of potential negatives about continuing to drink alcohol — from units consumed to risk levels, to likelihood of being in a car accident!
It will also give you an approximate amount of what your next drink will cost and informs you about possible damage to liver, strokes and the risk of mouth or throat cancer.
