Most of the people taking part weren't problematic drinkers, they were just people who were kind of moderate drinkers and who were then giving up for a month.
Ever wondered if Dry January is more than just a passing fad? In this episode of 'What's the Crack', hosts Rob Calder, Elle Wadsworth, and Lindsey Hines dive into the phenomenon of temporary abstinence from alcohol. They explore who's participating, why they're doing it, and whether it's actually beneficial. The trio doesn't just scratch the surface—they dig deep into health guidelines, the impact on NHS emergency admissions, and the historical roots of abstinence movements.
With a blend of expert analysis and engaging discussion, they also touch on why younger drinkers might find temporary abstinence appealing. What's particularly fascinating is their look at the motivations behind quitting alcohol and the role of community support in sustaining these efforts. They don't shy away from addressing the limitations of broad policy interventions either, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about the real impact of Dry January.
Whether you're considering taking a break from alcohol yourself or just want to understand the buzz around this annual event, this episode offers valuable insights that go beyond the headlines.
