Dry January

101 nifty tips, (some more serious than others) for getting you through a January without booze.This witty hand book of 101 tips for those embarking on the increasingly popular Dry January movement, or for anyone wanting to give up alcohol for a month.Tips range from the practical ('Put a lock on your drinks cabinet and give someone else the key') to the less practical ('Deliberately get infected with an illness requiring a month-long course of antibiotics') and from the sensible ('Keep a daily total of all the money you're saving') to the silly ('Unfriend anyone on social media with a birthday in January').Stephanie's introduction looks at why it's a good idea to forego booze for a month, and will also address the thorny issue of when Dry January actually starts (can you have a drink after midnight at your New Year's Eve party?).The early tips focus on getting started and building up momentum, while the last few are especially designed to get you over the finishing line with ease. With suggestions of places (and people!) to avoid during your tipple-free month, and healthy, positive habits to take up to distract you from the thought of what you're missing.Dry January is your practical and inspirational handbook, with a shot of irreverent humour, to make going dry for a month easier!
