"Dry January" is a time when people give up alcohol for the month after having a boozy holiday season. Here are some benefits.
While it’s not unusual for bars to capitalize on the Dry January trend, offering mocktails as an alternative to patrons, there’s another mechanism for mindful drinking: Dry-ish January, according to Jennifer Contraveos, Chicago-based senior portfolio ambassador for Bacardi USA.
“How helpful Dry January is may vary from person to person,” said Mark Zissman, a psychologist and clinical director of Lake County services at Gateway Foundation treatment centers. Zissman points to studies that show taking a month off from drinking can help in various ways, improving sleep and resulting in weight loss.

The group projects that 10% of those who drink in the U.K. will take part in the challenge this month and abstain from alcohol.
