Professor Kevin Moore, a leading liver specialist, has claimed that the health benefits for people who take a month of alcohol are “staggering”. He said, “if you had a drug that did this, it would be a multi-billion-pound market”.
Health improvements noted by people who have taken a month off alcohol include:
Better quality of sleep
Better overall health
Higher energy levels
Weight loss
Improved concentration
Better skin health
And that’s not all. As well as the health benefits, people taking a booze-break report:
Experiencing a sense of achievement at the end of the alcohol-free month
Saving money
A greater awareness of their relationship with alcohol
Feeling more in control of their drinking habits
Understanding when they felt more tempted to drink and why
Learning that they did not need alcohol to have fun
