What Are the Health Benefits of Dry July?
Improved sleep quality, liver function, and skin health
Potential weight loss and reduced calorie intake
Enhanced mental clarity and emotional well-being
Participating in Dry July, a month-long challenge to abstain from alcohol, can lead to numerous health benefits. By giving up alcohol for 31 days, you can experience positive changes in your physical and mental well-being.
Improved Sleep Quality
Alcohol consumption, especially close to bedtime, can significantly disrupt sleep patterns. While alcohol may initially make you feel drowsy, it interferes with the body's natural sleep cycle, leading to fragmented and less restorative sleep.
A 2013 study published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research found that alcohol intake before bed can reduce rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage crucial for memory consolidation and emotional processing. By giving up alcohol during Dry July, you allow your body to regulate its sleep patterns naturally, resulting in more restful and rejuvenating sleep.
Tips for Better Sleep During Dry July
Establish a consistent sleep schedule
Create a relaxing bedtime routine
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime
Ensure a comfortable sleep environment
Curious about what to expect with your sleep?

Enhanced Liver Function
The liver is responsible for breaking down alcohol and removing it from the body. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage, inflammation, and the accumulation of fat in liver cells, a condition known as fatty liver disease.
By participating in Dry July and giving your liver a break from processing alcohol, you allow it to recover and function more efficiently. Research from the University of Sussex found that abstaining from alcohol for just one month can lead to a significant reduction in liver fat, improved liver function, and lower levels of inflammation markers.
Weight Loss
Alcoholic beverages are often high in empty calories, contributing to weight gain over time. A standard glass of wine contains approximately 120 calories, while a pint of beer can have around 150 calories. Cutting out alcohol during Dry July can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake, potentially resulting in weight loss.
I used to say that alcohol calories don’t count, but they definitely do…
Moreover, alcohol consumption can influence food choices, leading to increased appetite and cravings for high-calorie, unhealthy foods. By giving up alcohol, you may find yourself making more mindful and healthier food choices, further supporting weight management goals.
Please know, not everyone has weight loss right away and focusing on weight can derail your sobriety and make you give up. Check out this podcast episode for some perspective on why we need to focus on wellness, not weight loss.
Better Skin Health
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it promotes fluid loss and dehydration. This dehydration can extend to the skin, leading to dryness, dullness, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, alcohol can cause inflammation in the body, exacerbating skin conditions like rosacea and acne.
By abstaining from alcohol during Dry July, you allow your body to rehydrate and restore the skin's natural moisture balance. Improved hydration can lead to a more radiant complexion, reduced puffiness, and a more youthful appearance.
The mysterious dry patches on my face that wouldn’t go away regardless of how many products I tried, finally disappeared when I quit drinking. Plus, I was taking off my makeup and washing my face every night. It was so nice to do my skincare consistently and not jolt awake at 3am with anxiety in full glam from the night before.
Skincare Tips During Dry July
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
Nourish your skin with a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables
Use a gentle, non-irritating skincare routine
Protect your skin from sun damage with sunscreen and protective clothing
Enhanced Mental Clarity and Emotional Well-being
Alcohol can have a significant impact on mental health and emotional well-being. While it may provide temporary relief from stress or anxiety, regular alcohol consumption can exacerbate mental health issues and contribute to feelings of depression and mood swings.
Participating in Dry July allows you to experience life without the influence of alcohol, providing an opportunity to assess your relationship with drinking and its impact on your mental well-being. Many individuals report improved mental clarity, increased productivity, and a greater sense of emotional balance during their alcohol-free month.
By giving up alcohol, you may find yourself engaging in healthier coping mechanisms for stress, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies, leading to long-term benefits for your mental health.
The Positive Effects of Giving Up Alcohol on the Body
Abstaining from alcohol for 30 days can lead to significant improvements in overall health and well-being
Reduced inflammation, improved digestive health, and enhanced immune function are just a few of the benefits
Giving up alcohol for a month can also lead to better sleep, clearer skin, and potential weight loss
Reduced Inflammation
Alcohol consumption can cause chronic inflammation throughout the body, which is linked to various health issues, including heart disease, liver damage, and certain cancers. When you give up alcohol for an extended period, such as during Dry July, your body has the opportunity to reduce this inflammation and begin the healing process.
Studies have shown that even moderate alcohol consumption can increase levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation in the body. A 2013 study published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism found that individuals who consumed more than 14 drinks per week had significantly higher levels of CRP compared to those who drank less or not at all. This effect seems to be stronger in women than in men.
By abstaining from alcohol for 30 days, you can give your body a chance to reduce inflammation and promote overall well-being. This reduction in inflammation can lead to improved heart health, better liver function, and a decreased risk of certain cancers.
Improved Digestive Health
Alcohol can wreak havoc on your digestive system, irritating the lining of the stomach and intestines and leading to conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and leaky gut syndrome. When you stop drinking alcohol, your digestive system has the opportunity to heal and function more efficiently.
Alcohol can interfere with the production of stomach acid and enzymes, which are essential for proper digestion. It can also damage the lining of the stomach and intestines, leading to increased permeability or "leaky gut." This condition allows toxins and partially digested food particles to enter the bloodstream, triggering an immune response and contributing to inflammation throughout the body.
By giving up alcohol for 30 days, you can help your digestive system recover from the damaging effects of alcohol. This can lead to reduced bloating, improved nutrient absorption, and a decreased risk of developing chronic digestive issues.

Enhanced Immune Function
Excessive alcohol consumption can significantly weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses like the common cold, flu, and even pneumonia. When you stop drinking alcohol for a month, your immune system has the chance to rebound and function more effectively.
Alcohol can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, which play a crucial role in regulating immune function. It can also interfere with the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections and diseases.
A 2015 study published in the journal Alcohol Research: Current Reviews found that even a single episode of binge drinking can lead to a significant reduction in the number and function of certain white blood cells, compromising the body's ability to defend against infections.
By abstaining from alcohol for 30 days, you can help your immune system recover and become better equipped to fight off illnesses. This can lead to fewer sick days, improved overall health, and a reduced risk of developing chronic diseases.
Better Sleep Quality
Alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, but it can significantly disrupt your sleep quality, leaving you feeling tired and groggy the next day. When you give up alcohol for a month, you may experience improved sleep quality and more restful nights.
Alcohol can interfere with the normal sleep cycle, reducing the amount of time spent in the deep, restorative stages of sleep. It can also lead to more frequent nighttime awakenings and a decrease in overall sleep duration.
For example, Dry January participants reported significant improvements in sleep quality, as well as reduced daytime sleepiness and fatigue.
By giving up alcohol for 30 days, you can help regulate your sleep patterns and improve the quality of your rest. This can lead to increased energy levels, better mental clarity, and improved overall well-being.
Clearer, Healthier Skin
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it can dehydrate your body and skin, leading to dryness, dullness, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When you stop drinking alcohol for a month, you may notice a significant improvement in the appearance and health of your skin.
Alcohol can also dilate blood vessels in the skin, leading to redness, flushing, and the development of visible blood vessels, particularly in the face. It can also disrupt the balance of hormones in the body, contributing to the development of acne and other skin issues.
By abstaining from alcohol for 30 days, you can help your skin recover from the dehydrating and damaging effects of alcohol. This can lead to a more even skin tone, improved hydration, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
By giving up alcohol for 30 days during Dry July, you can experience numerous positive effects on your body, including reduced inflammation, improved digestive health, enhanced immune function, better sleep quality, and clearer, healthier skin. These benefits can contribute to overall well-being and may even inspire you to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol in the long term.
The Advantages of Sobriety During Dry July
Improved physical and mental health
Increased productivity and energy levels
Significant financial savings
Increased Energy Levels
When you consume alcohol, your body works hard to process and eliminate it from your system. This can lead to feelings of fatigue and sluggishness, especially the day after drinking. Alcohol disrupts your sleep patterns, reducing the amount of time you spend in the restorative stages of sleep, such as deep sleep and REM sleep. As a result, you may wake up feeling tired and groggy, even if you slept for a full eight hours.
By giving up alcohol during Dry July, you allow your body to recover from the effects of alcohol consumption. Without the burden of processing alcohol, your body can focus on other essential functions, such as cell repair and energy production. Many people who participate in Dry July report feeling more energetic and alert throughout the day, as their bodies are no longer dealing with the aftermath of alcohol consumption.
Learn more about how alcohol affects your sleep and what to expect when you quit drinking in this episode.
Improved Productivity
Increased energy levels can translate into improved productivity both at work and in your personal life. When you're not feeling tired or sluggish, you're more likely to tackle tasks with enthusiasm and focus. This can lead to better performance at work, as well as a greater sense of accomplishment in your daily life.
Better Mental Health
Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it can affect your mood and exacerbate existing mental health issues. While many people use alcohol as a way to cope with stress or anxiety, it can actually worsen these conditions in the long run. Alcohol disrupts the balance of neurotransmitters in your brain, which can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and irritability.
By abstaining from alcohol during Dry July, you give your brain a chance to restore its natural balance of neurotransmitters. This can lead to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of emotional well-being. Many people who participate in Dry July report feeling more stable and positive throughout the month, as they're not experiencing the emotional ups and downs associated with alcohol consumption.
Developing Healthier Coping Mechanisms
When you're not relying on alcohol to cope with stress or difficult emotions, you have the opportunity to develop healthier coping mechanisms. This might include exercising, practicing mindfulness, or talking to a therapist. By building these skills during Dry July, you can carry them forward into the future, creating a more resilient and balanced approach to mental health.
Financial Savings
Alcoholic beverages can be a significant expense, especially if you drink regularly or enjoy high-end cocktails and wines. By giving up alcohol for a month, you can save a substantial amount of money that would otherwise be spent on drinks at bars, restaurants, or liquor stores.
To calculate your potential savings, consider tracking your alcohol-related expenses for a typical month. This might include drinks purchased at bars or restaurants, as well as alcohol bought for home consumption. Multiply this amount by 12 to get an idea of how much you could save over the course of a year if you were to reduce your alcohol consumption.
Redirecting Your Savings
The money you save during Dry July can be put towards other goals or experiences that enrich your life. For example, you might use the extra funds to:
Pay off debt or build your savings
Invest in a hobby or learn a new skill
Treat yourself to a massage or spa day
Plan a weekend getaway or vacation
By redirecting your alcohol-related expenses towards experiences that bring you joy and fulfillment, you can create a more balanced and satisfying lifestyle.
How Does Alcohol Affect the Body?
Alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration, sleep disruption, and vitamin deficiencies
Long-term alcohol use may increase the risk of liver disease, heart problems, and certain cancers
Cutting back on alcohol during Dry July can help improve overall health and well-being
Dehydration
Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production and leads to dehydration. When you drink alcohol, your body prioritizes metabolizing the alcohol over other functions, including the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH helps regulate fluid balance in the body, and when its production is suppressed, you lose more fluids through increased urination.
Dehydration caused by alcohol consumption can lead to various symptoms, such as:
Headaches and Fatigue
When your body is dehydrated, your brain can temporarily contract or shrink, causing it to pull away from the skull. This can trigger a headache, often referred to as a "hangover headache." Additionally, dehydration can make you feel tired and fatigued, as your body struggles to maintain optimal function with insufficient fluids.
Dry Skin and Premature Aging
Dehydration can also affect your skin's appearance. Alcohol deprives the skin of vital nutrients and hydration, leading to dryness, flakiness, and premature aging. Fine lines and wrinkles may become more noticeable when you're dehydrated, as your skin loses its natural plumpness and elasticity.
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, approximately 75% of people experience dehydration after consuming alcohol.
Disrupted Sleep Patterns
While alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, it can significantly disrupt your sleep cycle, leading to poor sleep quality. Alcohol interferes with the normal stages of sleep, particularly the REM (rapid eye movement) stage, which is crucial for cognitive functions like memory consolidation and learning.
Studies have shown that alcohol consumption before bedtime can lead to:
Shorter overall sleep duration
More frequent awakenings throughout the night
Decreased time spent in the REM stage of sleep
The disruption of sleep patterns caused by alcohol can result in daytime fatigue, decreased cognitive function, and mood disturbances. Chronic sleep disruption has also been linked to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies
Alcohol can interfere with the absorption and metabolism of essential vitamins and minerals in the body. Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to deficiencies in key nutrients, such as:
Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
Alcohol hinders the absorption of thiamine in the intestines and impairs its metabolism in the liver. Thiamine deficiency can cause neurological problems, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is characterized by confusion, memory loss, and loss of muscle coordination.
Folate (Vitamin B9)
Alcohol can decrease the absorption of folate in the intestines and increase its excretion through urine. Folate deficiency can lead to anemia, which causes fatigue and weakness. In pregnant women, folate deficiency can increase the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus.
Additionally, alcohol consumption can also affect the levels of other essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and magnesium. For example, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found that chronic alcohol consumption can lead to vitamin D deficiency in up to 70% of individuals.
Increased Risk of Chronic Diseases
Long-term alcohol use can increase the risk of various chronic diseases, such as:
Liver Disease
The liver is responsible for breaking down alcohol, and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage. Over time, this can progress to more severe conditions like alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. According to the World Health Organization, alcohol consumption is responsible for approximately 20% of liver disease deaths worldwide.
Heart Problems
While moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with potential heart benefits, excessive drinking can lead to high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association reports that excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of heart disease by up to 40%.
Certain Cancers
Alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including breast, liver, colorectal, and esophageal cancer. The risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. The International Agency for Research on Cancer states that alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for cancer, with an estimated 5.5% of all cancer deaths worldwide attributed to alcohol.
By participating in Dry July and taking a break from alcohol, you give your body a chance to recover from the negative effects of alcohol consumption. This can lead to improved hydration, better sleep quality, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases over time.
The Purpose of Dry July
Dry July encourages people to reassess their relationship with alcohol and its effects on their health and wellbeing
Participants can raise funds for cancer charities by getting sponsored for their month of sobriety
The campaign aims to create lasting positive changes in participants' drinking habits and overall lifestyle
Raising Awareness About Alcohol Consumption
Dry July is an annual campaign that challenges people to give up alcohol for the month of July. The primary purpose of this initiative is to get people thinking about their relationship with alcohol and the potential negative effects it can have on their health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
By encouraging participants to take a break from drinking, Dry July aims to help people reassess their drinking habits and consider making long-term changes. Many people may not realize how much they rely on alcohol in social situations or as a way to cope with stress and emotions. Taking a month off from drinking can provide valuable insights into these patterns and motivate individuals to adopt healthier coping mechanisms.
The Benefits of Reassessing Alcohol Consumption
Studies have shown that even short periods of abstinence from alcohol can lead to significant improvements in health markers such as blood pressure, liver function, and sleep quality. A 2018 study published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism found that participants who abstained from alcohol for just one month experienced a 5% decrease in blood pressure and a 15% reduction in liver fat (Mehta et al., 2018). Furthermore, taking a break from alcohol can help individuals develop a more mindful approach to drinking. By becoming more aware of the reasons behind their alcohol consumption and the impact it has on their lives, people can make informed decisions about their drinking habits moving forward.
Supporting Cancer Charities
Another key purpose of Dry July is to raise funds for cancer charities. Participants in the campaign can get sponsored by friends, family, and colleagues for their month of sobriety, with the money raised going towards supporting people affected by cancer and funding cancer research and treatment programs.
Since its inception in 2008, Dry July has raised over $50 million for cancer charities in Australia and New Zealand (Dry July Foundation, 2021). These funds have been used to provide much-needed support services for cancer patients and their families, such as transportation to treatment appointments, accommodation for those who need to travel for care, and counseling services.
The Impact of Dry July Fundraising
The money raised through Dry July has a tangible impact on the lives of people affected by cancer. For example, funds from the campaign have been used to establish wellness programs in hospitals, providing patients with access to massage therapy, yoga classes, and other complementary therapies that can help alleviate the side effects of cancer treatment.
Additionally, Dry July fundraising has supported the expansion of cancer research efforts, leading to advancements in treatment options and improved outcomes for patients. By participating in Dry July and raising money for these causes, individuals can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Creating Lasting Positive Changes
While the immediate focus of Dry July is on the month-long challenge, the ultimate goal is to encourage participants to make lasting positive changes in their lives. By experiencing the benefits of a month without alcohol, many people are motivated to reassess their long-term drinking habits and make healthier choices moving forward.
A 2019 survey conducted by the Dry July Foundation found that 65% of participants reported drinking less alcohol six months after completing the challenge (Dry July Foundation, 2019). This suggests that the experience of Dry July can have a lasting impact on individuals' relationship with alcohol and their overall health and wellbeing.
Strategies for Maintaining Positive Changes
To help participants maintain the positive changes they experience during Dry July, the campaign provides resources and support throughout the month and beyond. This includes access to an online community of fellow participants, tips for staying motivated and managing cravings, and guidance on setting realistic goals for long-term changes in drinking habits.
By focusing on creating lasting positive changes, Dry July aims to have a long-term impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Encouraging people to reassess their relationship with alcohol and adopt healthier habits can lead to reduced rates of alcohol-related health problems, improved mental health, and stronger social connections.
Positive Changes You Can Expect from Participating in Dry July
Improved physical health, mental well-being, and relationships
Increased self-awareness and sense of accomplishment
Long-term positive changes in drinking habits and lifestyle
Improved Overall Health
Participating in Dry July can lead to significant improvements in your overall health. When you abstain from alcohol for a month, your body has the opportunity to recover from the negative effects of regular drinking. One of the most noticeable changes is improved sleep quality. Alcohol disrupts the sleep cycle, leading to fragmented and less restorative sleep. Without alcohol, you may find that you fall asleep more easily, experience fewer nighttime disturbances, and wake up feeling more refreshed.
Your liver, which plays a crucial role in detoxifying your body, also benefits from a break from alcohol. Alcohol consumption can lead to liver inflammation and fat accumulation, increasing the risk of liver disease. During Dry July, your liver has a chance to heal and regenerate, improving its function and overall health. Additionally, you may experience better digestion, as alcohol can irritate the lining of your stomach and intestines, leading to discomfort, bloating, and other digestive issues.
Mental Health Benefits
In addition to the physical benefits, Dry July can also have a positive impact on your mental health. Alcohol is a depressant that can exacerbate feelings of anxiety, stress, and low mood. By abstaining from alcohol, you may experience improved emotional well-being, increased resilience to stress, and a more positive outlook on life. Many participants report feeling more clear-headed, focused, and energized during Dry July.
Increased Self-Awareness
Participating in Dry July provides an opportunity to examine your relationship with alcohol and become more self-aware. When you remove alcohol from your life for a month, you may start to notice patterns and triggers that lead you to drink. This heightened awareness can help you identify emotional or social situations where you tend to rely on alcohol as a coping mechanism.
By recognizing these triggers, you can develop healthier strategies for managing stress, socializing, and dealing with difficult emotions. This self-awareness can empower you to make lasting changes to your drinking habits, even after Dry July ends. You may find that you have a greater appreciation for non-alcoholic beverages and activities, and that you can enjoy social situations without relying on alcohol.
A Sense of Accomplishment
Completing the Dry July challenge can provide a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride. Committing to a month without alcohol requires discipline, determination, and self-control. As you progress through the month, you may find that your willpower grows stronger, and you feel more confident in your ability to make positive changes in your life.
This sense of achievement can have a ripple effect, motivating you to tackle other personal goals and challenges. Whether it's starting a new exercise routine, learning a new skill, or pursuing a long-held dream, the success of completing Dry July can inspire you to take on other areas of self-improvement.
Long-Term Benefits
The benefits of Dry July extend beyond the month itself. Many participants find that the experience leads to long-term changes in their drinking habits and overall lifestyle. After experiencing the positive effects of abstaining from alcohol, you may choose to drink less frequently or in smaller quantities. You may also become more mindful of your alcohol consumption and make healthier choices when you do decide to drink.
Additionally, the money you save by not buying alcohol during Dry July can be put towards other goals or experiences that enhance your well-being. Whether it's investing in a gym membership, taking a cooking class, or planning a trip, the financial benefits of Dry July can support your ongoing personal growth and development.
Improved Relationships
Dry July can also have a positive impact on your relationships with others. When you're not under the influence of alcohol, you may find that you're more present and engaged in your interactions with friends, family, and colleagues. You may have more meaningful conversations, express yourself more clearly, and be more attentive to the needs and feelings of others.
Moreover, participating in Dry July can inspire others to examine their own drinking habits and consider making positive changes. By sharing your experience and the benefits you've noticed, you may encourage others to join you in the challenge or simply become more mindful of their alcohol consumption. This shared experience can strengthen bonds and create a sense of camaraderie among those who participate.
Embrace a Healthier You This Dry July
Cutting out alcohol for a month can have a profound impact on your health and well-being. From better sleep and improved liver function to weight loss and clearer skin, the benefits are undeniable.
By participating in Dry July, you're not only taking a positive step towards better health but also supporting a worthy cause. The funds raised through this initiative help those affected by cancer, making your commitment even more meaningful.
As you embark on this journey, remember that the changes you experience may extend beyond the physical. You may find yourself more energized, mentally sharp, and financially better off. Use this newfound clarity to reassess your relationship with alcohol and consider making lasting changes.
Why not challenge a friend to join you in Dry July? Together, you can support each other, share experiences, and celebrate your achievements. Who knows, you might just inspire others to embrace a healthier lifestyle too.
