A dietitian explains why a balanced approach to drinking alcohol might be more beneficial than dry Jan.
to an increased risk of experiencing injuries, acquiring a sexually transmitted disease, and developing certain chronic diseases like high blood pressure and liver disease.
While not all studies suggest that participating in Dry January is linked to binge drinking, for some, the"all-or-nothing" approach to alcohol consumption may not be a long-term solution for their own needs. And because of this, as a dietitian, I'd like to explore the concept of Damp January instead of Dry January starting every January 1.If Dry January means that you avoid alcohol, having a drink every once in a while can make your January"damp.
Practicing Damp January instead of Dry January allows people to continue to enjoy a celebratory glass of champagne if a person's best friend becomes engaged or a cold pint of beer while watching a football game. But instead of mindlessly agreeing to a cocktail refill or grabbing that extrajust"because," Damp January participation forces a person to pay attention to how many drinks they're having and find ways to limit their drinking without feeling deprived.
