When we support our sober friends we normalise not drinking. They don't need a reason to not drink!

Sober shaming puts up a barrier for people considering making a change to their drinking and prioritising their health.

je le disais déjà en janvier, c'est pour cela que le #DryJanuary existe et est utile. Pou ces gens qui prennent une lichette de vodka avant de bosser. Qui n'imaginent pas un soirée sans boire.
Pour qu'ils se rendent compte qu'ils on un problème avec l'alcool.

L'alcool est responsable de 41 000 décès (évitables!) par an. La France est un des + gros consommateurs. Merci Artus de dé-banaliser cet acte et de partager votre vécu

Un premier pas : que le #DryJanuary fasse l’objet d’une campagne nationale ! ⁦ liberation.fr/lifestyle/artu…

Sometimes a new term or label emerges to describe our drinking.

The latest one, which you may have come across in newspapers or lifestyle magazines, is 'grey area drinking'.

But just what does it mean, and is it actually helpful? Find out in our blog: alcoholchange.org.uk/blog/grey-area…

'Before #SoberSpring , I saw only two binary options to drinking: drink, or don’t. But that’s now changed. I have agency to take it or leave it, and that’s a great feeling.'

Un mépris de la lutte contre l'alcoolisme qui fait écho au refus scandaleux du gouvernement de soutenir le #dryjanuary , peut etre pour ne pas froisser le lobby viticole ?

« Mais je vous emmerde ! »

Je n’aurais pas trouvé de meilleure réponse que celle d’Artus à la remarque désobligeante de Léa Salamé suggérant qu’arrêter de boire / fumer c’est « être chiant »

Un petit Dry January pour déconstruire ces injonctions qui coûtent des vies ?

There are some great resources here - I've not touched alcohol in 484 days and I cannot begin to tell you how much better my life is for it!! Thanks Dry January Alcohol Change UK 👍🏾

emlyn pugh PintsO’Guinness You need to try the Lagunitas IPNA. If you’re not drinking it’s the closest thing to a real flavorful and refreshing beer I’ve ever tasted! It’s my go-to during DryJanuary.

Skow Yolo Quelle Époque ! Théâtre Édouard VII France tv Léa Salamé Oui, vous êtes certainement mieux placé que moi pour le savoir !!
Mais la pression sociale est tellement énorme autour de l'alcool, sans compter le lobby
(Macron refuse de promouvoir le DryJanuary)
Et j'ai vu tellement de vies dévastées ...
tous les arguments sont bons ou presque
