Dry January
No alcohol from when you wake up on New Year's Day until 1 February. A drier January is still something to be proud of!
There are no Golden Tickets to give you a day off. If you decide to have a drink, that’s totally up to you. A drier January is still something to be proud of, and your body will thank you!
But if you can make it through the month alcohol-free, you’ll get bigger benefits. The biggest benefit of all is that you’ll see you don’t need alcohol to have fun, go out, stay in, relax or do anything else you might associate with drinking. And knowing that will help you take control of your drinking year-round.
But does it work? Yes! Research shows that Dry January® participants are on average 70% more likely to be drinking more healthily six-months later.
