6 Reasons To Go Dry this Feb

Have you ever considered giving up alcohol? Whether you’ve done it before, or you’re looking to try it out for the first time, here are 6 reasons to put away the alcohol and challenge yourself to a Dry Feb.

1. You’ll support Americans affected by cancer.

By signing up and going Dry this Feb, you’ll be doing more than just giving up alcohol and kickstarting some healthy habits; you’ll be helping raise funds for the American Cancer Society to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families, through advocacy, research, and patient support. You’ll be helping work towards ending cancer as we know it, for everyone.

2. You’ll feel great.

Taking a break from alcohol can lead to improved physical and mental health. It can help you feel more energized, sleep better, and experience fewer hangovers, enhancing your overall wellbeing. 

3. You could reduce your risk of cancer.

Alcohol use accounts for about 6% of all cancers and 4% of all cancer deaths in the United States (source: cancer.org). Alcohol use is one of the most important preventable risk factors for cancer, so by drinking less alcohol, you could be reducing your cancer risk.

4. You’ll challenge yourself.

Taking on Dry Feb is a challenge in itself, however, the clear mindset you could experience by giving up alcohol might just give you the motivation to challenge yourself to more goals throughout the month. Plus, you could create a Dry Feb team so you can challenge friends and family to work together towards a common goal!

5. You’ll save money.

By taking part in Dry Feb, you’ll be saving money by not purchasing alcohol for 29 days. How much could you save? Use our alcohol calculator to find out!

Taking a break from alcohol could allow you to become more aware of your relationship with alcohol and how it impacts your daily life. This newfound self-awareness could lead to more mindful drinking habits in the future.
