With the start of a new year, many people lean into a season of transformation, reevaluating personal values and habits, and some adults are opting to extend their commitment to sobriety beyond Dry January or begin a month-long journey without alcohol during Dry Feb. Dry Feb, a partnership between non-alcoholic brand Lyre's and Ezy Raise, is running to benefit the American Cancer Society, especially since evidence links alcohol to many types of the disease.
To participate in the Dry Feb campaign, people are invited to sign up and pledge to abstain from drinking for the month. As well as being able to join the challenge online, those in New York can opt to sign up for Dry Feb in person at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal and get a complimentary Lyre's cocktail.
