ADHD & Alcohol
A course designed for fast minds,
not one-size-fits-all fixes
If you’ve ever felt like alcohol hits you harder, faster, or becomes harder to stop than it does for other people, you’re not imagining it.
ADHD changes how your brain processes reward, stress, and self-regulation.
This course finally makes sense of all that
Why ADHD brains often struggle with alcohol
People with ADHD are more likely to deal with a number of issues at the same time.
Including impulsivity, emotional surges, low dopamine tone, and chronic overstimulation.
That makes alcohol feel like both a relief and a trap, something that works until it doesn’t.
If you’ve tried white-knuckling it, or felt let down by advice that just didn’t stick, you’re not broken.
You were probably using a method that wasn’t built for your brain.
What results can you expect from this course?
*outcomes may vary between clients
✅ Better control over impulsive drinking patterns
✅ Reduced guilt and improved self-trust
✅ More consistent sleep, energy, and motivation
✅ Tools that actually work with ADHD wiring
✅ Freedom to enjoy alcohol when it works – not out of habit
✅ Less mental noise about drinking decisions
✅ Serious financial savings
✅ No pressure to quit – just science-backed clarity & choice
✅ Fewer empty calories, from both alcohol and the poor decisions that follow
What makes this different?
This isn’t generic advice in a different wrapper.
It’s a course designed from the ground up for ADHDers, using neuroscience, lived experience, and practical coaching tools that actually help your brain form new habits.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why typical strategies (like standard CBT) often fall flat
✅ What’s really going on when you feel the “urge to reset”
✅ How to track your own patterns without overwhelm
✅ How to use fast-switching techniques and sensory tools to interrupt autopilot drinking
Everything’s structured in short phases, colour-coded for clarity, and stripped of fluff. You’ll get real tools, real insight. Not lectures disguised as help.
Course creator, Alastair
After 30+ years in the wine industry, and plenty of time riding the ups and downs of my own drinking habits, I decided to stop blaming willpower and start understanding what was actually going on.
That journey also led to a diagnosis of ADHD and a deep dive into the behavioural science behind alcohol habits. What I found changed everything – not just for me, but for the people I’ve coached since.
After informally training some friends and colleagues impressed by my transformation, I formally trained as a coach and earned qualifications in several disciplines, learning evidence-based methods to support people’s change.
Alcohol Reset Coach is built on that foundation, blending lived experience, neuroscience, and coaching psychology to help others find a smarter, saner way to change.
Backed by science,
not slogans
Everything in the course is backed by peer-reviewed research, including ADHD-specific studies published between 2020 and 2024.
We’ve included references throughout, not as unnecessary filler, but to show that you’re not alone, you’re not imagining it, and ARC is built on proven foundations.
What you’ll find
• Neuroscience-based explanations for dopamine surges, emotional regulation, and habit loops
• Tools like “dopamine menus,” interoception mapping, and dynamic moderation rules
• Coaching strategies adapted for impulsivity, sensory seeking, and time-blindness
You’ll also get a curated reading list at the end — books, papers, and trusted resources if you want to go deeper.
This isn’t recycled pop psychology. It’s practical, grounded, and tailored to the way ADHD brains actually work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work if I haven’t been diagnosed?
Absolutely. Many of our clients relate to ADHD patterns even without a formal diagnosis.
If you’ve struggled with impulsivity, motivation, or switching off, this is for you.
What if I don’t want to quit drinking completely?
That’s the point. This course isn’t about abstinence, it’s about drinking less with clarity and control. You stay in charge.
What if I’ve already tried CBT or apps and they didn’t help?
Most ADHDers need faster, more visual tools, not more rules. We show you what actually works with fast-switching brains.
I’m overwhelmed just thinking about starting.
Yes, we offer a free trial period of 14 days. During this period, you will have full access to all of our features and services.
Is this neurodiversity-affirming?
100%. We don’t treat ADHD as something to “fix.” We work with your brain, not against it.
Finally, something that makes sense
I always thought I just needed more willpower. Turns out, I needed a different rulebook.
This course explained stuff I didn’t even know was part of ADHD. It made me feel less broken and gave me practical things that actually helped.

My first real pause button
I’d tried sober challenges in the past because nothing else seemed to work, but they never stuck.
This is the first time I’ve felt like I can stop or start on my own terms, without spiralling or second-guessing myself

Tools that actually stick
Everything else I’ve tried felt like homework. This was clear, simple, and didn’t make me feel stupid.
The habit-loop stuff especially just clicked. It’s not magic, but it works.
Already recommended to a few friends!
