A month without alcohol brings lots of benefits, like more energy, a chance to save some money, improved concentration, better sleep, boosted mood and so much more. It does you good on the inside. In fact, research shows that a month off alcohol leads to lower blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes risk, as well as lower cancer-related proteins in the blood.
Dry January® is carefully designed by experts in behaviour change. It helps people break habits they’ve fallen into and make long-term changes for the better. It helps us remember that we don’t need alcohol to have fun, relax, celebrate, unwind or anything else. It puts you back in control of your drinking.
Evidence shows that people who do Dry January® with support from Alcohol Change UK are twice as likely to have a completely alcohol-free month and have significantly improved wellbeing and lower alcohol health risks six months later.
