Dry January Quiz

Dry January is the UK’s one-month alcohol-free challenge. This year, it isn’t about giving anything up – it’s about getting something back. Get your fun back. Get your energy back. Get your calm back.

Whether you’re a weekend drinker, a ‘social drinker’ or just like to unwind with a glass of wine after work, cutting out alcohol can have a number of long-term benefits for your health. If you get involved this year, you’ll save money, feel more energised – and you might even lose weight!

“Dry January” isn’t aimed at people who experience heavy or problem drinking – but it can help you make small lifestyle changes which can have a big impact on your health. Last year, over 4 million people globally took part in Dry January.

  • 86% of participants saved money
  • 70% said they had better quality sleep
  • 66% felt more energised

Research shows that taking part in Dry January can also help you to drink more healthily all year round. If you need a little motivation, why not try Dry January with a partner, friend or work colleague and keep each other motivated? You can also read these Dry January stories to hear how other people felt the benefits of taking part.

Giving up alcohol for 31 days can help you…

  • save money
  • have deeper, more nourishing sleep
  • develop more energy
  • lose weight

If you need a little help to stay on track, download the Try Dry app for helpful hints and advice.

 

“Dry January” is not for everyone. If you’re worried about your drinking, ALWAYS seek advice from a GP before attempting to stop.

According to Public Health England, there are 600,000 dependent drinkers in England - but less than one-fifth are accessing treatment services.

Did you know?
