I tried the new Fearne Cotton-approved mindful drinking trend, and it’s changed how I feel about wedding season

UNITED STATES - CIRCA 1960s: Woman at party, wearing party hat and winking, holding glass of wine.

Like 8.5 million Brits, I started the year sober, as is my Dry January tradition. Buoyed by a month of insomnia-free sleep, I became so sober-curious that I interviewed Millie Gooch, founder of the Sober Girl Society and ambassador for Alcohol Change UK, to see if I could change my drinking habits for good.

And then February hit, and I started that month with a stonker of a hangover. Since then, I’ve run the gamut from abstinence to ardently believing that some hangovers are actually great (hear me out on that one), but as a Libra, I need balance, so I’ve been searching for a less erratic approach to drinking. I’m not alone; more than one in four of us want to reduce our booze intake.
