We love a good celebration, and from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve there are no shortages of gatherings for adults to enjoy toasting with spirits, from office parties to merry dinners with family and friends. As the holidays become happy memories, welcoming the new year can be a time to reset and recharge with healthy resolutions. This January we highlight our mission of education and public safety and encourage adults 21 and up to sip responsibly.
The Dry January movement is a campaign that encourages people to abstain from drinking alcohol for the month of January. It is meant to provide a break from alcohol after the holiday season and to help people develop healthier habits around alcohol consumption. The movement started in the UK in 2013 and has since gained popularity in other countries around the world. Many people participate in Dry January as a way to improve their health, save money and reduce their alcohol intake. Some people use the month as an opportunity to sample sobriety without being overwhelmed by the concept of skipping out forever or committing to long-term abstinence.
The movement has evolved over the years, with more and more people participating each year and many organizations and companies supporting the campaign.
