We know that positive change can take time, so there’s no time limit on finishing your course. We’re here for you, for as long as you need us.

Does it work?

Yes! Our two main courses – How to Stop Drinking and How to Drink Mindfully – were independently evaluated by an academic team from London South Bank University. Their report’s key findings were:

“All individuals who used Club Soda reported being significantly happier with their drinking behaviors”… “this was the case regardless of whether individuals chose to focus on abstinence or moderation goals” 

“All individuals who used Club Soda were more confident in changing their drinking behaviors, and improvements in how drinking impacted various domains in their lives (energy, sleep, nutrition, emotions, relationships, social life, work, and money) by the end of the intervention”

“This evaluation revealed that engaging in the online intervention had positive outcomes for participants, such as improvements in well-being-related measures and behavioral-related outcomes including drink refusal self-efficacy.”

The best results were found with those people who continued to the end of the programme.

What other people say about Club Soda's courses

Short courses to help you change your drinking

Club Soda’s short courses support you with specific aspects of changing your drinking. Our latest short course, Rethinking Your Wine Drinking is designed specifically for wine drinkers who want to drink less or not at all. And our original short course, How to Journal, is available to start year-round if you want to reflect on your progress.

Our short courses are self-contained. But if you want to pursue them alongside either of our in-depth courses, they can help build your confidence and to create and sustain lasting change.

Courses for the drinks industry

Club Soda understands the unique challenges of changing your drinking when you work professionally with alcohol.

If you work or have worked in the drinks industry in the UK – anywhere from pubs to production – you could benefit from our partnership with The Drinks Trust. Discover more about our work to support people in the industry and secure a fully-funded place on one of our in-depth online courses.

Club Soda also supports venues that want to become more welcoming places for mindful drinkers. See our video course designed with Drinkaware here.
