Dry January is becoming more and more popular as the years go on. There are a few reasons that people participate in Dry January, especially after the rich, boozy holiday season from November to December. Not only does cutting out alcohol help detox your body, but it also can save you a few bucks (or $1,000 each month) here and there.
