What happens to our bodies when we do Dry January?

Bu bölüm hakkında

You’re most likely familiar with the concept of Dry January, which started out in the UK in 2013 and has since become hugely popular. It involves not consuming a single drop of alcohol for the whole month of January. In 2022, record participation numbers were recorded, with over 130,000 people signing up with Alcohol Change to take part. On average, British people drink 9.8 litres of pure alcohol per year, according to figures released by the OECD in 2021. Right from the first few hours of cutting out alcohol, the body starts its detox process. You may get noticeable withdrawal symptoms, depending on how dependent your body is on alcohol. If you’re a moderate drinker, you may have a little trouble getting to sleep. If you drink more often, you might get headaches or break into a sweat. It’s often said that the first three days are the hardest. Is there really an impact in such a short space of time? What about from week two onwards? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
