What is Dry January?

‍Launched in 2013 by Alcohol Change UK, Dry January encourages people to abstain from alcohol for the entire month of January. This movement aims to raise awareness about alcohol consumption while offering a chance to reset your habits.
‍

‍Why Take Part in Dry January?

‍1. Health Boost: Giving up alcohol for a month allows your liver to recover, improves digestion, and enhances sleep quality.
2.Glowing Skin: Alcohol dehydrates the skin and can lead to breakouts. A break helps restore your natural glow.
3.Mental Clarity: Less alcohol means better focus, productivity, and mood.
4.Save Money: Skipping alcoholic drinks significantly reduces your spending.
5.Reevaluate Habits: Dry January is an opportunity to reflect on your relationship with alcohol and adopt healthier practices.
