For most people, the idea of a binary isn't very helpful, said Ian Hamilton, an associate professor of addiction at the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York. Instead, he and other experts said it may be more sustainable to try a damp January, or making an effort to drink less without abstaining from alcohol entirely.
When you stop drinking completely, you'll likely sleep better, see clearer skin and find yourself with more energy throughout the day. Then there are the long-term benefits, including a lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other health concerns. But you can improve your health just by drinking less. For people who have two or more drinks a day, reducing your alcohol consumption can lower your blood pressure, said Dr. Timothy Naimi, director of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria.
