Thank you so much for supporting the Dry January® challenge. With your help, we can make the campaign go further, encouraging people across the UK to take part in the Dry January® challenge and enjoy all the benefits that brings.

How can you help?

  • Spread the word on social media – use our social media graphics and suggested posts across your channels.
  • Create a display – put our posters on display online and out in your local area e.g. reception areas and waiting rooms, entertainment venues, bus stops.
  • Get businesses to let you know if they are providing low and no-alcohol options – create a list to share with local residents so they feel confident when they turn up at venues that they will be comfortably catered for.
  • Connect with your community - link up with established community networks such as sports clubs, faith communities, interfaith groups and exercise classes. They may not have any specific focus on alcohol issues, but they will be full of people who have experience of the role alcohol plays in their community.

Although Dry January® is safe for most people, it isn't right for anyone who is alcohol-dependent. Therefore, it's important to share information on alcohol withdrawal to anyone who might be at risk.

Alcohol withdrawal warning

People who are clinically alcohol dependent can die if they suddenly, completely stop drinking.

If you experience fits, shaking hands, sweating, seeing things that are not real, depression, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping after a period of drinking and while sobering up, then you may be clinically alcohol dependent and should NOT suddenly, completely stop drinking.

But you can still take control of your drinking. Talk to a GP or your local community alcohol service who will be able to get help for you to reduce your drinking safely.
