TASTIER THAN FAKE NEWS –
Jan. 4, 2023 – “Like clockwork, after indulging between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, people look for ways to be healthier when the new year rolls around,” says author Hilary Sheinbaum whose The Dry Challenge: How To Lose The Booze For Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month was published by HarperCollins. According to Sheinbaum, cutting out alcohol “can be easier to commit to and more appealing than a generic [resolution] to lose weight or be healthier for a year.”
According to YouGov, one in five Americans took part in “Dry January” in 2019, and the trend is growing globally, with more than four million UK residents going dry in 2020, according to Sheinbaum. And while 2022 is already in full swing, you don’t need a dedicated month to experience life without booze — and the benefits of doing so.
