For drinking less, or not at all
Drink less.
Get your mornings back.

Drag to any day · Month 1
Studies of month-long breaks show liver fat down by around 15%.
Estimates assume two glasses a day from a $15 bottle. The app uses your own numbers. If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Talk to a doctor first.
You don't need a rock bottom to want to drink less. Unbottle is made for ordinary evenings, when there's a bottle open and one glass tends to turn into three.
How it works
Three stepsRide out the craving
Tap Panic when it hits and rate how strong it is. Then play a short game, breathe slowly, or watch the urge rise and fade like a wave. A craving peaks and passes, and the app keeps you busy until it does.
Watch your body catch up
The app follows 19 health milestones, from the first hour to ten years, and fills each one in as you reach it. On a bad day it helps to see how far you've already come.
See what you didn't pour
Every drink you skip shows up on the screen, first as bottles and then as cases. After a month that's a lot of bottles, and it gets harder to go back.
Your plan, your pace
Drink less, or not at all.
Cut back with a weekly drink budget that steps down at your own pace, or pick a quit date and count the days from there. You can switch between the two whenever you like.

Questions
Short answers, with a longer read behind each one.
Do I have to quit completely?
No. Unbottle works for cutting back too. Set a weekly drink budget that steps down at your own pace, or pick a quit date and count from there. You can switch between the two later.
Read moreWhat happens when you stop drinking for 30 days?
In studies of month-long breaks, liver fat fell by around 15% on average, blood pressure dropped by about week three and the body got better at handling blood sugar. Sleep is often worse for the first few nights, then deepens.
Read moreIs it safe to stop drinking suddenly?
For most people, yes. But if you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and withdrawal can cause seizures. Talk to a doctor first. A medically supervised reduction is a normal route, and doctors have this conversation often.
Read moreWhy do I feel so anxious after drinking?
Alcohol calms the brain at first, and the brain pushes back to keep its balance. When the alcohol wears off, the push is still there, so you're left jumpy and on edge. Poor sleep and low blood sugar make it worse. People often call it hangxiety.
Read moreHow do I get through a craving?
A craving builds, peaks and fades, and the sharp part rarely lasts more than ten minutes. Watch it rather than argue with it, and give your hands something to do. Unbottle's Panic button has breathing, quick games and your own reasons to hold on.
Read moreHow do I know if I'm drinking too much?
One reference point is the US low-risk guideline: no more than 14 US standard drinks a week for men and 7 for women. Another is how drinking affects your sleep, mood and plans. Our drinking self-check uses the WHO's AUDIT questions to give you a risk zone in about two minutes.
