šø Going sober for Dry January has been popular for years ā but if you're intentionally drinking less (but not nothing) this month, there's another term for that: Damp January.ā
ā
Why it matters: Limiting alcohol can have a number of physical and mental health benefits, but Damp January isn't a fit for everyone.ā
ā
What they're saying: Damp January ā also known as "Soberish" or "Dryish" January ā has gained popularity, "maybe because people have done some Dry Januarys and it hasn't been successful," says Amanda White, licensed counselor and author of "Not Drinking Tonight."ā
