Despite many people starting the first month of the new year alcohol-free, it can be hard to stick to your goals when socialising.
Alcohol Change UK's Dry January campaign is now entering its 11th year, and 8.8 million adults said they planned to take part in 2023 (one in seven UK adults, according to Alcohol Change UK).
The organisation says a month off alcohol can provide benefits such as lower blood pressure, a lower risk of diabetes, saving money, and claims that 70 per cent of participants who took 31 days off alcohol adopted healthier drinking habits throughout the next six months.
But giving up alcohol doesn't have to mean sacrificing your social life.
Here are some great places in Wakefield where you can still enjoy a tasty beverage without breaking your January goals.
