At its core, Dry January is all about gathering information about your relationship with alcohol, said Joseph Schacht, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who studies treatment for alcohol and addictive disorders.

Lyre’s, the world's best-selling independent producer of non-alcoholic spirits, has partnered with the organization for three years in a row.

You may have heard of people participating in Dry January. The goal is to cut back on the amount of alcohol during the month. A new study shared by Health and Human Services may have another reason to cut back.
