Even if not everyone goes back to school, the month of September is an opportunity to get back on track, reorganize your schedule, and make good resolutions to get off to a healthy start.

It's also the time to get back in shape after the excesses of summer... And when we think that the end-of-year holiday marathon is coming in just a few weeks, it's time to take a break to take care of yourself. This is how “Sober September” was born.

Sober September : What is it ?

A September without alcohol to get back in shape. A month to eliminate the pounds gained this summer, get better sleep and allow yourself a full night's sleep, better concentration, and recharge your batteries.

These are all the benefits that a month without alcohol brings, not counting those that last over time : establishing a personal challenge like this is also a way to boost your self-esteem. Not bad to be at the start of the year ! For the curious who want to know everything in detail, we invite you to read our article on the Top 5 reasons to switch to non-alcoholic cocktails.

This tendency to limit alcohol consumption is shared by more and more French people. According to the Out-of-Home Consumption (CHD) survey conducted by CGA by Nielsen IQ*, 52% plan to significantly or slightly reduce their alcohol consumption over the next 12 months, 16% have already started to moderate their consumption and 31% plan to change nothing.

So don't hesitate to share your challenge with those around you : it's much easier to motivate yourself together.

People who have already completed a month without alcohol, such as Dry January, for example, are usually more likely to repeat the experience... they must have found advantages in it ;)
