The Illinois Liquor Control Commission is urging residents to take part in Dry January, a month-long challenge inviting individuals to refrain from alcohol. This health-focused initiative is designed to encourage people to examine their drinking habits and potentially improve their overall well-being. Throughout the month, the Commission will offer resources and support to anyone considering participation, highlighting benefits such as better sleep, increased energy, and potential weight loss. Officials emphasize that the challenge is not only for heavy drinkers but also for moderate drinkers seeking to make a positive change. “Dry January is an opportunity for individuals to reset, refresh, and re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol,” said Illinois Liquor Control Commission Executive Director, Lisa Gardner. “Every day you choose clarity and wellness is a win. Most importantly, this is a personal journey. Take this time to shape your new life in the new year. Best of luck!”
