Start the New Year off with a alcohol reset in "Dry January"

Participate in the monthly opportunity and begin 2024 alcohol free

Now that the holidays are nearly over and overindulging is behind us, it's time for a reset. January has been coined, "Dry January." Dry January is a one-month sobriety challenge where people stop drinking alcohol for 31-days. The idea behind it is to start the new year on a healthy note, detoxify the body, and potentially reassess one's relationship with alcohol.

“Dry January is an opportunity for individuals to re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol and make better choices,” said Illinois Liquor Control Commission Executive Director Lisa Gardner.

Committing to dry January can lead to positive changes both physically and mentally. For a successful dry month, individuals should have a strategy and set clear goals for managing cravings, peer pressure, and social situations that involve alcohol. When in a social setting, grab a mocktail for the same taste without the alcohol, or a canned water to blend in with those who are drinking.

Dry January benefits: Improves overall health; Saves money; Reset drinking habits; Improves sleep; Aids in weight loss; Promotes self-discipline; Encourages personal growth; Sets a positive tone for the year.
