Resolutions create a clear vision of what the rest of the year looks like. January is the perfect time to do that. Cutting down on alcohol is a resolution that will benefit a lot people in many ways.
One of the benefits of cutting down on alcohol, even if it’s just for the first month of the year, is weight loss. Alcohol has calories, so when it is not consumed, calorie intake is actually reduced. Sleep also improves significantly as alcohol disrupts sleep quality. This eliminates fatigue and brain fog as the body is well-rested.
A dry January does not have to be a frustrating exercise. It does more good than harm.
