Participating in Dry January and abstaining from alcohol has led to noticeable improvements in sleep, blood pressure normalization, better digestion, and liver health. Alcohol consumption can disrupt sleep by activating adrenaline, raise blood pressure, and cause fat accumulation in the liver, potentially leading to cirrhosis.
