Cut back on alcohol & drink more mindfully without quitting

Hey Product Hunt 👋

Thanks for hunting us @hnshah 🙏

I'm Nick, the CEO & Co-founder here at Sunnyside

Super excited to share what we've been working on 👇

47% of US adults are interested in cutting back their alcohol intake. 1 in 3 drink an unhealthy amount, meaning alcohol is having an outsized impact on health and longevity for more than 68M adults in the US alone. Yet fewer than 2% of drinkers take proactive action to change their drinking habits.

The question we asked ourselves is *why*, given that half of us want to make a change to our drinking habits, do so few people get started? 🤔

💡 We believe we’ve found the answer. Until now, our options have been extremely limited, with virtually every service in the alcohol health space purpose built (and branded) towards achieving complete sobriety. For the millions of us who want to make a change but aren’t interested in quitting entirely, we’ve been left without options.

At ☀️Sunnyside☀️ we’ve been working on a science-backed approach to help people cut back on drinking, and make positive lifestyle changes built around moderation and mindfulness. We're excited to share our app with the PH community today, so you can experience a new path to more mindful drinking that doesn’t revolve around an all-or-nothing philosophy.

Having already helped more than 150,000 people achieve their healthier drinking goals, we’re leading the way in providing a much-needed alternative to those seeking balance vs. absolute zero when it comes to their drinking. Today, we’re excited to announce our new iOS app and member community, which take the Sunnyside experience to the next level.

Thinking about a healthy drinking reset for 2023? Here's one more feature you'll love:

📅 Dry(ish) January Challenge: With the new year fast approaching, many individuals attempt a fully sober January. Although this can be a great reset for your body, many struggle to maintain this once February rolls around, and fall back into old habits.

We’ve developed a unique feature in Sunnyside to choose how you want to participate in a January health reset. You can select from various options of how you want to participate in Dry(ish) January:

- A full month of sobriety - Only drinking on weekends - Reducing your consumption by 50% - Or fully customizing your plan to your needs

After opting in, we’ll work with you to stick to your specific intention, and also help you taper back to a good place once February rolls around.

Common questions we get asked:

🧠 What is Mindful Drinking? Mindful drinking is more than an idea. It’s a movement. A community growing larger by the day. Put simply, it’s all about thinking while drinking. Mindful drinking is not about quitting alcohol, but instead being intentional about when you drink, aware of how much you’re drinking, and paying attention to its impact on you in the moment. It’s about recognizing the reasons for and the ramifications of drinking. It’s about improving your relationship with alcohol so you maximize enjoyment and minimize negative side effects like hangovers, regrets, and anxiety.

☀️ Who is Sunnyside for? Sunnyside is for anyone who drinks alcohol, especially those who want to explore the positive benefits of drinking more mindfully. Whether you just want to learn and understand more about your own drinking habits, or you want to reduce your consumption, your journey is fully customized and prepared for YOU.
