Anybody done a dry January before? Not concerned about being able to do it, more just curious what people’s experiences were, the benefits they saw, etc.

Don’t usually do it in January but will take a 4-6 week break during other times of the year. I felt a lot more clarity. Even as someone who only drinks 1-2 nights a week, I felt like I was able to think more clearly and felt better. Not waking up hungover on a Saturday or Sunday morning also made me feel like I had so much more time to be productive or to be lazy.

I'm doing it right now for the first time - although I have taken a month-long break in the past. I'm looking forward to not being hungover and thus making better decisions about other things (like food or working out). I'm only nervous about social settings and feeling annoyed or left out. But we'll see!

I did a couple mocktails and a nonalcoholic pale ale at my local craft brewery last night. Feel like that sort of thing makes it much easier to go out with friends while staying sober.

Really glad places have stepped up their low/no-alcohol options in the last few years.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
