With the price of alcohol going up, young people say they're saving money by going sober.
Newsbeat reporter
Student Grace Burton says she would spend up to £60 on a night out and since she stopped drinking in October she has more to spend elsewhere. The third-year University of Bristol student says she's embarrassed to think of how much she would spend on nights out, which she realised she wasn't enjoying. As well as freeing up more cash to cushion rising prices, Grace, who is originally from Canterbury, says she's also able to spend more on things she enjoys, like meals out with friends.
Performing in bars and clubs, Sha says alcohol was "part and parcel of what I do" and she noticed she was using it as a crutch.
