Waving goodbye to the year – and to booze: How do you ensure a successful Dry January, and beyond?
Description
After a one-week break for the festive holiday, co-hosts Cess and Ollie return to discuss how their sober Christmas Days went – Botivo was a big hit for Cess! Ollie, meanwhile, shares a story about being sozzled in front of Princess Catherine. Oops!
And, with the news that a record 15.5 million Britons (29% of the adult population in the UK) are planning to participate in Dry January, the pair have plenty of tips to help those giving up booze for a month ... or perhaps longer.
Happy New Year to all our listeners. Good luck. Here's to a healthy and prosperous 2025!
