Observances:

Dry January
Dry January is a month-long challenge encouraging participants to abstain from alcohol consumption. Beyond simply pausing alcohol intake, participants are urged to reflect on their drinking habits and assess whether abstaining for the month is difficult. The goal of Dry January is to raise awareness about how alcohol can impact health and to help individuals who may occasionally exceed recommended alcohol consumption guidelines. This observance also provides an opportunity to spark meaningful conversations about alcohol use and its effects.
