We’re sorry to burst your bubble, after all, to go without anything (especially something you enjoy) takes some doing. So, well done for that. However, if you think a month off the sauce will help cut your overall alcohol consumption, you’re probably not going to want to hear this. According to findings by a team of researchers from Bristol University, those who pledged to cut back on alcohol during January were drinking just as much any other drinker six months later. The researchers concluded that making a vow to stay dry in January isn’t enough if someone wants to cut their consumption.
