    Let’s Talk Dry January: A Toast to Moderation As January approaches, the buzz around #DryJanuary is impossible to miss. It’s a fantastic initiative encouraging people to take a step back and reflect on their drinking habits—a valuable reset after the indulgences of the holiday season. As someone passionate about the food and beverage industry, I believe this conversation doesn’t need to be all or nothing. Instead of focusing solely on abstinence, why not consider January as an opportunity to embrace moderation or even try so non-alcoholic options. Moderation allows us to maintain a balanced and thoughtful approach to drinking all year long. It encourages mindful choices—like savoring a glass of a beautifully crafted non-alcoholic cocktail or enjoying a single pour of your favorite wine as a celebration, not a habit. I love a few cocktails but I also like to have a the non-alcoholic kind as well in that same evening. It’s also a chance for bars and restaurants to shine. Many venues are expanding their menus with creative zero-proof options, offering guests the same sophistication and experience without the alcohol. As someone who has worked to implement these offerings, I’ve seen firsthand how they open doors for more inclusive hospitality. Dry January should be about discovering what works best for each individual—whether that’s taking a complete break, opting for moderation, or exploring the wonderful world of non-alcoholic beverages. So here’s to a mindful start to 2025, however you choose to raise your glass. 🥂 To drink or not to drink that is the question, and the only one that can answer that is you! You do You. What’s your approach to Dry January? Let’s share and learn from one another! #Hospitality #DryJanuary #Moderation #MindfulDrinking #InclusiveBeverages

As someone who has worked to implement these offerings, I’ve seen firsthand how they open doors for more inclusive hospitality. I like an alcoholic beverage, but after a few I like to switch to a non alcoholic version that well crafted. Dry January should be about discovering what works best for each individual—whether that’s taking a complete break, opting for moderation, or exploring the wonderful world of non-alcoholic beverages. So here’s to a mindful start to 2025, however you choose to raise your glass. 🥂 And let people just be on their decisions - to drink or not to drink, that is the question and the only person that can answer that is you.
