DRY JANUARY

A month alcohol-free has a lot of benefits: research published in 2018, conducted by the Royal Free Hospital and published in the British Medical Journal, found that a month off lowers blood pressure, reduces diabetes risk, lowers cholesterol, and reduces levels of cancer-related proteins in the blood. During Dry January last year 88% of participants saved money, 71% slept better and 58% lost weight.

This Dry January, it's not as likely that you'll be regularly visiting pubs, bars or restaurants for big social gatherings due to whatever coronavirus restrictions might be in place. But in case you do end up in one of those situations, you need to be prepared. Deciding beforehand what you’re going to do will really help you when the time comes. Whether it’s sticking to alcohol-free alternatives (that still look the real deal – if your local doesn’t stock alcohol-free beer and wine you could try a soda and lime) or practising saying no, make sure you have a plan. You can try alcohol-free alternatives at home too, visit Dry Drinker, holder of the UK’s largest selection of alcohol-free beers, wines and spirits.

The most important thing to remember for Dry January is to enjoy it. It’s not meant to be a month of deprivation – it’s your chance for a break, to see what life without alcohol is like, so that if you want to cut down later.
