A 2009 study saw that subjects using just Moderation Management to reduce their drinking went from having only about one day a week abstinent from alcohol to having 1.5 days a week abstinent (e.g. they would drink six days one week and five days another week).<ref>{{cite journal|pmc=2739257|year=2009|last1=Hester|first1=R.
