Consumption changes like “Dry January”, where participants refrain from drinking alcohol for the entire month, is an example of how Canadians try resetting their lifestyle choices in the new year.
However, according to new data from Inniskillin, Canadians find it particularly hard to stick to this resolution.
In fact, 1 in 10 Canadians claim they have tried Dry January and failed, with 1 in 6 Canadians (15 per cent) reporting they successfully completed the month. And these findings change depending on your age:
- One quarter of Gen Z’s claim they tried Dry January but failed, the majority of whom only managed two weeks
- For Millennials, 1 in 6 (16 per cent) have tried Dry January and failed
There are many ways to feel better about your alcohol choices without going cold turkey.
