Hospitals in Lanarkshire, Scotland are giving away measuring cups to help drinkers gauge the amount of alcohol they are using, the BBC reported Oct. 5.

The giveaway is part of Scotland's Alcohol Awareness Week. Area residents are being encouraged to become more responsible by setting simple individual goals like using smaller wine glasses, drinking lower alcohol-content beer, and having at least two alcohol-free drinking days weekly.

"During Alcohol Awareness Week we are asking everyone in Lanarkshire to think about their own alcohol consumption," said Val Tallon, Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drug Action Team coordinator. "The small changes you make could have really big benefits."
