To drink or not to drink, that is the question.

Weight loss

Alcohol is empty calories — even a 1-ounce shot of tequila contains around 64 calories (and that's on the low side) — so cutting back can lead to some weight loss. Be warned though: Taking a break from booze can cause sweets cravings, so it's best to fill the void with healthy foods such as avocado, coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil, as well as good greens like asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower to keep blood sugar levels balanced.

Brighter skin

Alcohol dehydrates the skin, so your Dry January journey might actually help with your skin care-related New Year's resolutions. You're also going to want to make sure to rehydrate from within by drinking lots of fluids, which is another bonus for your skin. Additionally, eating nutritious meals will increase your vitamin intake, boasting cell renewal, making your skin more radiant and fresh.

Save money

#DryJanuary isn't only good for your body, it'll also make your finances healthier. Even if you only go out to bars or buy a bottle of wine every once in a while, the costs can add up quickly. So cut out the booze splurges and put the savings into a fund to reward yourself at the end of the month... it'll be an additional motivation to help you to stay on track all month.
