Patients of this group will continue receiving regular care from their physician with no interference from the two experimental groups. Patient subjects will download the app on their Android or Apple smart phone that will direct them to external information hosted on the internet that may help reduce their drinking (e.g., NIAAA resources). For the first 12 weeks, once a week patients can set a weekly goal related to their alcohol use or other health related behaviors (e.g., "I will only drink on Friday this week."). At the end of the week subjects will be prompted to take a weekly survey, which will include questions such as a variation of the brief alcohol monitor (BAM) and timeline followback. Patients will then receive feedback on the amount of drinks they had compared to their goal. Then the patient will set a new goal for the following week. Patients will complete quarterly surveys on the A-CHESS app to assess study outcomes.

A-CHESS self-monitored: Patients have access to a smart phone app that provides information on tips on how to reduce drinking, a drink tracker, a journal, discussion boards, and private messaging with a research team member. Patients set weekly goals related to their drinking, reassess each week, and set a new goal for the upcoming week.

Patients will be asked to take the same surveys and have the access to the same information as the self-monitoring group. Patient subjects in this group will have access to discussion boards where they can talk to one another and have the ability to share and see stories of other patients. The only involvement of someone other than patients themselves in the peer-supported group will be by a sponsor (i.e., a dedicated user from the area with a sustained history of successful alcohol reduction). The sponsor will participate in discussion groups and encourage use of the system. Patient-reported feedback will be presented directly to the patient.

Patients set weekly goals related to their drinking, reassess each week, and set a new goal for the upcoming week.

Patients in the clinically integrated group will receive the same intervention as the peer-supported group aside from three differences: 1) patients have the option to share selected elements of their app data with the University of Wisconsin (UW) Health health coach, 2) the health coach will replace the role of the sponsor in the peer-support group, and 3) patients will have the option to attend an initial 60- to 90-minute and two 30-minute follow-up consultations with the health coach in-person, via phone, or via video chat.

A-CHESS clinically-integrated: Patients have access to a smart phone app that provides information on tips on how to reduce drinking, a drink tracker, a journal, discussion boards, and private messaging with a health coach. Patients set weekly goals related to their drinking, reassess each week, and set a new goal for the upcoming week.

Patients of this group will continue receiving regular care from their physician with no interference from the two experimental groups. Patient subjects will download the app on their Android or Apple smart phone that will direct them to external information hosted on the internet that may help reduce their drinking (e.g., NIAAA resources). For the first 12 weeks, once a week patients can set a weekly goal related to their alcohol use or other health related behaviors (e.g., "I will only drink on Friday this week."). At the end of the week subjects will be prompted to take a weekly survey, which will include questions such as a variation of the brief alcohol monitor (BAM) and timeline followback. Patients will then receive feedback on the amount of drinks they had compared to their goal. Then the patient will set a new goal for the following week. Patients will complete quarterly surveys on the A-CHESS app to assess study outcomes.

A-CHESS self-monitored: Patients have access to a smart phone app that provides information on tips on how to reduce drinking, a drink tracker, a journal, discussion boards, and private messaging with a research team member. Patients set weekly goals related to their drinking, reassess each week, and set a new goal for the upcoming week.

Patients will be asked to take the same surveys and have the access to the same information as the self-monitoring group. Patient subjects in this group will have access to discussion boards where they can talk to one another and have the ability to share and see stories of other patients. The only involvement of someone other than patients themselves in the peer-supported group will be by a sponsor (i.e., a dedicated user from the area with a sustained history of successful alcohol reduction). The sponsor will participate in discussion groups and encourage use of the system. Patient-reported feedback will be presented directly to the patient.

A-CHESS peer-supported: Patients have access to a smart phone app that provides information on tips on how to reduce drinking, a drink tracker, a journal, discussion boards, and private messaging with a counselor. Patients set weekly goals related to their drinking, reassess each week, and set a new goal for the upcoming week.

Patients in the clinically integrated group will receive the same intervention as the peer-supported group aside from three differences: 1) patients have the option to share selected elements of their app data with the University of Wisconsin (UW) Health health coach, 2) the health coach will replace the role of the sponsor in the peer-support group, and 3) patients will have the option to attend an initial 60- to 90-minute and two 30-minute follow-up consultations with the health coach in-person, via phone, or via video chat.
