A lot of Irish people take on the alcohol-free challenge that is Dry January each year and this year is no different.
Some do it as a means of getting into their overall health kick for the New Year, while others just need a break from the booze after the heavy Christmas season.
I am in the latter category and even though I drank on New Year's Day, I've convinced myself that I'm still on a good run for the month. New Year's Day doesn't count anyway!
