Liverpool urges residents to take part in Dry January
LIVERPOOL City Council's Public Health Officials are encouraging residents to join the national:- 'Dry January' campaign. Taking a break from alcohol can improve health, save money, and boost wellbeing. The campaign, led by Alcohol Change UK, offers free tools and support to help people reset their relationship with drinking.
Dry January is more than just a month off alcohol; it's a chance to feel better, sleep better, and start the year in a positive way. Research shows that people who take part often have more energy, better mood, and spend less money. Alcohol plays a big part in Liverpool's social and economic life. But drinking too much causes serious harm. It is the leading risk factor for death, ill health, and disability among:- 15 to 49 year olds in the City. The State of Health in the City, Liverpool 2040 report warns that without action, up to 38,000 more residents could develop long term health problems like:- diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease, many made worse by alcohol misuse. Residents can sign up for free support via AlcoholChange.Org.UK, which includes:-
What if 'Dry January' feels too much...? Not everyone can commit to a full month alcohol free; and that’s okay. Reducing how much you drink also has real health benefits. 1 simple way to cut down is to have at least a few drink free days every week. Small changes can make a big difference to your health and wellbeing. Dry January is not recommended for people who are dependent on alcohol. Suddenly stopping drinking can be dangerous without medical support.
