The cost of living and the cost of drinking. Dry Jan 2023.

It’s no secret that Dry January is increasing in popularity every year and this year’s is sure to be no exception. From January 1 to February 1, people are encouraged to abstain from drinking alcohol for the entire month in order to reset their metabolism, reduce the possibility of addiction, and take a break from the social pressures of drinking alcohol. But the benefits of taking part in this annual event extend far beyond those already mentioned. 

When it comes to mental health and stress, Dry January can be a great way to give your body and mind a break. By refraining from drinking, you can reduce anxiety and stress, while also being better able to cope with life’s challenges. With the costs of living rising and society’s expectations weighing heavy on us, it’s great to have an entire month to put away the pressures and give yourself some much-needed relaxation.

On a financial level, abstaining from alcohol for a full month can also save a considerable amount of money. Between the prices of beer, wine, and fancy drinks, not buying alcohol for a month will add up quickly in savings. Take the money you do save by participating in Dry January and treat yourself to something special, like a weekend away. 

And of course, taking part in Dry January is an excellent way to give your body the break and nutrition it needs. After all, sampling all the delicious, low-calorie, non-alcoholic beverages out there, such as kombucha, is a great way to refresh your palate and get the nutrients your body needs. Plus, trying something new is always a fun way to start the new year! 

To wrap it up, Dry January is more than simply taking a break from alcohol. By switching up your beverage choices and giving yourself a break from societal pressures, you can reap all the mental, financial, and health benefits the event provides. So, why not give it a try and see what Dry January does for you?
