Greenville Restaurants Turn Up the Flavor with Mocktails for Dry January
In the charming city of Greenville, locals are shaking things up this January (but not with cocktails!). This month marks the launch of Dry January, a movement encouraging folks to give their livers a little break and skip the booze for 31 days. Even though many people often abandon their New Year resolutions just a couple of weeks in, this initiative is gaining some serious traction in the community!
What’s the Buzz About Dry January?
This fun-filled challenge aims to wipe out alcohol consumption, especially after the festive holiday season when drinking typically skyrockets. It’s no secret that with holiday parties and celebrations, many individuals tend to indulge a bit too much. Recent data indicated that around 47% of men and 40% of women admitted to binge drinking during this time. The increased holiday stress seems to hit women harder, with studies showing they are 44% more likely to feel the pressure compared to a 31% increase for men.
