Dry January, anyone?
It’s all the rage to give up alcohol for the month of January, right? ย The moderate, mindful side of me says that’s drastic and will lead to overdoing it after the month is over, but the goal-oriented part of me likes the challenge of cutting out alcohol completely for the month. ย It’s a personal choice – and itย doesn’tย make you a good or bad person either way. ย Interestingly, younger adults are participating in temporary sobriety much more so thanย older adults,ย according to statistics from last year.
Whether you want to go dry or justย dampen your drinking for January, it can be a chance to renew your commitment to health and get more moderateย with your alcohol consumption. ย You’ll not only cut calories, support your immunity, liver and metabolic functions, but you’ll save money, too. ย Yay!
Here are some simple ways to cut back on alcohol in January:
Infuseย freshly squeezed lemon, lime orย orange into still orย sparkling water.
Slice cucumber into water with a splash of pomegranate juice.
Toss unsweetened frozen fruit, such as a couple ofย cherries, pineapple chunks or blueberries intoย sparkling water.
Enjoy a non-alcoholic beer or mocktailย during your virtual happy hours.
Blend together veggies, fruits, nut and/or nut butters, milk or yogurtย for tasty, frothy concoctions.
