Take part in Dry January with the Try Dry app and more

The Dry January challenge, created by Alcohol Change UK, sees hundreds of thousands of people across the UK go alcohol-free for January, using the tools and resources that include Try Dry, daily motivational emails, and an active online community.

The campaign began in 2013 and has been growing ever since, with more than 200,000 people globally taking part in January 2025. 

When people take part with Alcohol Change UK, they get access to a host of dedicated tools to help them stay alcohol-free for the whole month, and to reduce their drinking longer term.
 

Evidence shows those who take part in the Dry January challenge using Alcohol Change UK’s tools and resources double their chance of having a completely alcohol-free month and have significantly improved wellbeing and lower alcohol health risks six months later.


People who sign up receive:
• Daily motivational emails with tips, tricks and inspiration
• The Try Dry app to track savings, sleep, mood, energy levels, and more, and earn badges for all the activities we do without alcohol
• Access to an online community of others going alcohol-free

To take part, visit Dry January to download the app and sign up for the free materials.
