But if you’re ready to dive in, here’s what to expect if you have an alcohol-free week. Physical changes in 7 days without alcohol

The second half of the week

Most people can grin and bear it through 7 days without alcohol. So it can be tempting to get through your week by simply hitting the pause button on life.

So the first 3 or 4 days without drinking might be pretty uncomfortable. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms vary, but symptoms will typically appear about six to twelve hours after your last drink. And they will tend to be worst after day 2 or 3. Milder withdrawal symptoms include sweating, shakes, headaches, and nausea, and you might have problems eating or sleeping. You may also feel anxious, irritable or agitated. Honestly, this is a mistake. In a week, you will encounter many of the situations in which you’d normally drink. So you can use your 7 days without alcohol to notice your triggers for drinking. More and more people are cutting down by using alcohol-free and low alcohol drinks. In fact, figures from 2021 show one in five UK adults used alcohol-free drinks as a way of moderating their alcohol consumption. 3For example, if you regularly have a couple of bottles of beer after work, switching to a 1.2% ABV low alcohol one instead of the usual 5% ABV would cut the number of units you drink in an evening making a huge difference over a week and reducing your risk of longer-term harm.
