Are You Planning a Sober or Sober-ish October?

NOTHING TO MOCK –

Oct. 3, 2024 – It’s “sober” October — a popular fall sobriety challenge during which people live alcohol-free for a month to improve health and regain control of their drinking. But if you can’t commit to a full month of abstinence, you can still benefit from a “damp” or “dryish” alcohol reset. Giving up alcohol for a month — or at least cutting back — can make a meaningful difference for your health… 

And for those who don’t want to fully abstain, cutting back on their normal consumption for a month or longer also can make a difference. Studies show that even a modest reduction in drinking can lead to improvements in blood pressure, mental health and liver health. It can lower risk for cancer and heart disease. And you may even notice improvements in your sleep, energy levels and skin.

Here are some ways to cut back on alcohol.
