Go dry this January 19

Dry January is the UK’s one-month booze-free challenge. This year we are encouraging you to join Public Health Dorset and take up the challenge to feel great and save some cash.

Lots of us feel like we’re drinking a bit too much, or too often, or just like we could do with some time off. Dry January is the perfect way to reset your relationship with alcohol. It only takes three weeks to break a habit, so this could be your route to happier, healthier drinking long-term.

Dr Vicki Fearne, Public Health Consultant for Public Health Dorset said:

“The benefits of drinking less are many. You could lose weight, save money and feel, look and be healthier.

“Alcohol is linked with more than 60 health conditions, including liver disease, high blood pressure, depression and seven types of cancer. Cutting back on alcohol reduces your risk of developing these conditions.”
