E184: Benefits of Dry January: What the Research Says


Listen Later

Dry January is a great time to take a break from drinking after going hard over the holidays, but does it have an impact on your ability to drink less or stay sober? In this episode I’m discussing the research on Dry January participants, the benefits you may see this month, and if Dry January is associated with a reduction in drinking long term. I’ll also explain how you can increase your chances of success this month and my best tips for staying sober.

What to listen to next:

E164: how taking breaks helped me quit for good

E99: why we can never drink again

E41: why we crave sugar

E165: I quit sugar for 30 days

E58: how alcohol causes cancer

E34: why drinking makes it hard to lose weight

E17: alcohol and the heart

E37: insulin and hormones

E157 and 175: fatigue and brain fog
