After the stressful Christmas period, when many people consume more alcohol than usual, January offers the opportunity to regenerate body and mind. Alcohol can weaken the immune system, put a strain on the liver and lead to sleep disorders.<\/p>\n<p>Giving up alcohol often leads to rapid improvements in health: less tiredness, better sleep quality, more energy and a clearer head are just some of the positive effects. Mental health also benefits, as the focus on alcohol is removed and space is created for healthier habits. Dry January is therefore a valuable time-out for body and soul that inspires people to be more conscious about their alcohol consumption in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element inherit inherit\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper default  vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img\" src=\"https:\/\/johann-strauss-apotheke.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dry-January.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Dry January\" title=\"\u00a9 Canva\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1719336639663 bg-image-ps-inherit\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element inherit inherit\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper default  vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img\" src=\"https:\/\/johann-strauss-apotheke.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dry-January-4.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Dry January\" title=\"\u00a9 Canva\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1736005875293\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>The effects of excessive alcohol consumption after the holidays<\/h2>\n<p>Many people tend to consume more alcohol during the festive season. Festive gatherings with family and friends, toasting the New Year and socialising over punch and mulled wine often lead to unconsciously excessive consumption. This has immediate negative consequences such as headaches, nausea and tiredness, but also long-term effects.<\/p>\n<p>The liver is overloaded, the immune system is weakened and regeneration is impaired. Alcohol also affects the cardiovascular system, increases blood pressure and can favour skin problems. Dry January offers the opportunity to relieve the body and give it the chance to regenerate. At the same time, it is a good opportunity to take a critical look at your own drinking habits and develop health-promoting alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1719336655930 bg-image-ps-inherit\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1736004242215\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Dry January as a health precaution<\/h2>\n<p>Dry January is not only a way to recover, but also an important step towards prevention. Regular alcohol consumption increases the risk of a variety of diseases, including liver disease, high blood pressure and even certain types of cancer. Consciously abstaining from alcohol in January helps to reduce these risks and strengthen the body in the long term.<\/p>\n<h3>Develop new routines in Dry January<\/h3>\n<p>At the same time, the alcohol-free month makes it possible to develop new routines: Many participants report that they have become more aware of alcohol after Dry January and have been able to make their drinking behaviour healthier in the long term. This not only contributes to better physical health, but also to more energy and quality of life in everyday life. Dry January is therefore an effective method of actively promoting one's own health and regaining control over alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element inherit inherit\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper default  vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img\" src=\"https:\/\/johann-strauss-apotheke.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dry-January-2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Dry January\" title=\"\u00a9 Canva\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1719336639663 bg-image-ps-inherit\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element inherit inherit\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper default  vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img\" src=\"https:\/\/johann-strauss-apotheke.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dry-January-3.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Dry January\" title=\"\u00a9 Canva\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1736004360714\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>How our pharmacy can support Dry January<\/h2>\n<p>In our pharmacy, we want to provide you with the best possible support during Dry January.
