DRY JANUARY

Take a Break. Reset Your Body. Reflect on Your Habits.

What is Dry January?
Dry January is a voluntary, month-long break from alcohol. It’s not about judgment or quitting forever—it’s about awareness and giving your body and mind a reset.

Why Try It?

Even a short break from alcohol can lead to:
• Better sleep and energy
• Improved focus and mood
• Less anxiety and brain fog
• Better workouts and recovery
• Extra money in your pocket

Alcohol can impact:
• Academic performance and memory
• Mental health and stress levels
• Sleep quality
• Decision-making and safety

Taking a pause helps you notice how alcohol affects you.
