Here’s how you can participate in Dry January if sobriety isn’t your thing just yet:

First, what is Dry Jan?

Dry January is a popular trend that involves giving up alcohol for the first month of the year. For some, it’s a way to reset their drinking habits and get back on track with healthier choices. For others, it’s an experiment—a chance to see what life would be like without alcohol or how their bodies would do without it.

For many people who participate in Dry January, there are also other reasons behind their decision:

• They’ve been feeling unhealthy due to excessive drinking and want to reset their habits
• They want to support others who have chosen sobriety (often friends or family)
