Dry January

Dry January is a public health campaign that originated in the United Kingdom in 2013 and is now promoted in various countries around the world. The initiative encourages people to abstain from consuming alcohol for the entire month of January. The campaign is organized by the charity Alcohol Change UK. The aim is to provide a break from alcohol consumption following the often alcohol-heavy holiday season, promote awareness about alcohol consumption habits, and encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their drinking patterns, experience the benefits of reducing alcohol intake, such as improvements in physical health and mental clarity, and potentially inspire longer-term changes in their relationship with alcohol.
