What Exactly is a 'Dry January' Anyway?

Drinking can be a big part of people's lives and in many different ways. Maybe you are a social drinker, enjoying the feeling of being loosened up in social situations, or perhaps you have had a long history of problematic drinking. Either way, drinking is so ingrained in our culture that people have started a trend of having a 'dry January'. What is this, you ask? Sort of like doing a diet detox or a juice cleanse, a dry January is meant to take a break from drinking to refresh your system and (often) help stick to weight loss resolutions. But a dry January can actually be a whole lot more eye opening than you think. Find out what you can expect from this experiment and why it could be much more important than you originally thought.
