It’s about discovering new, non-alcoholic alternatives that enhance your social life and support your health goals. According to a survey by Alcohol Change UK, over 70% of participants in Dry January report better overall health and increased energy levels. Additionally, reducing alcohol intake can lower the risk of long-term health conditions like heart disease and liver damage.
