Podcasts about Dry January

John is a week into Dry January, and it's triggering a 5/8th life crisis. He wonders aloud whether he should be doubling down on the things he's always done, or if he should seek newness on the regular. 

Send us a textDid you miss us?Seems like forever since we did a show. Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year! 2026 is starting off exhausting, good thing there's beer.We probably should have made a bigger deal of this but with all the other stuff in our lives we didn't get to throw a big party. But, we turned 10! That's right, 10 whole years of Beer Guys Radio. It's been a crazy ride.Of course with the new year comes the calls for Dry January. We chat about the stats on who's participating, and what their success may look like as well as potential loopholes for staying dry. Our vote? Enjoy your beers responsibly, as always. Your breweries need you to keep going and if everyone took a month off it would be a heavy hit. If you do choose to skip the booze maybe go check out their NA offerings, or grab a meal or two.It seems alcohol sales were up over the holidays, but of course that's followed by the aforementioned Dry January. We'll still take any positive news available.In other news... a beer that's also a vaccine, spent yeast helps lab-grown meat, and more updates on the Sycamore Brewing fallout.Cheers!

We're back, baby! Kate and Marcie thought this new, upcoming era of The Bachelorette with Taylor Frankie Paul was a perfect time to resurrect and refresh the show.Listen as they dive into what other reality TV shows they're watching, TikTok vs. Instagram and what's in their algorithms recently, skincare routines, Dry January, New Years Resolutions and more!Oh - and of course - they're talking all things Taylor Swift. From her latest album to The Eras Tour documentary on Disney+ to our favorite vault tracks to her engagement to Travis Kelce. Happy listening!

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

What starts as cozy weather, sweaters, and travel updates quickly turns into one of those classic Chalene conversations that goes everywhere and somehow still makes perfect sense. From updating makeup techniques for midlife faces to why separate bathrooms might be the secret to a happier marriage, this episode blends humor, honesty, and very real relationship truths. Chalene also shares an unfiltered update on sober curiosity, Dry January reflections, and how changing her relationship with alcohol quietly changed everything. Along the way there are beauty procedures, barefoot shoes, sleep rituals, and a vacation story that absolutely spirals in the most entertaining way possible.  

A 30-day break from alcohol changes multiple systems at once: metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, and behavioral. In this episode, I'm summarizing what the research says about the benefits people commonly experience, including sleep, energy, liver fat, and drink-refusal self-efficacy. I'll explain what improves early, what takes longer, and what predicts real behavior change beyond the month.  What to listen to next: E231: everything you need to know about withdrawal E205: kindling in alcohol withdrawal E240: post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) E247: Sober Sleep is the Best Sleep, But Not Right Away E265: Rewiring the reward system after getting sober Work with me: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership Sober coaching https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching  Weekly email: You'll hear from me on Fridays https://www.soberpowered.com/email Support the show: If you enjoyed this episode please consider buying me a coffee to support all the research and effort that goes into this podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/soberpowered Thank you for supporting this show by supporting my sponsors https://www.soberpowered.com/sponsors Sources are posted on my website Disclaimer: all of the information described in this podcast is my interpretation of the research combined with my opinion.

The Golden Globes are this weekend, and the hit movie KPop Demon Hunters is up for three awards, including one for best original song. The movie has become a global sensation for Netflix in part because of its catchy soundtrack. Ian Eisendrath is the man behind the music. As executive music producer of the film, he worked from the story's conception to make the music stand out and tell a story. Eisendrath talks about working with top K-pop performers and producers to create the film's history-making, chart topping soundtrack. And, America's Test Kitchen's senior book editor Joe Gitter shares his advice and tips for how to make and experience excellent mocktails for Dry January.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Dry January often raises big questions: how much alcohol is actually safe, and do you need to stop drinking altogether to protect your health? In this episode, world-leading alcohol expert Professor David Nutt explains why alcohol ranks as one of the most harmful drugs to society, how even “normal” drinking can affect your health, and what the science really says about cutting back without giving it up completely. David, a neuropsychopharmacologist and former UK government drug adviser, explains why alcohol was ranked the most harmful drug overall in a landmark comparison of 20 drugs, how harm rises sharply as drinking increases, and unpacks common beliefs like red wine being “good for you”. The conversation also covers the social benefits of alcohol and why the goal isn't necessarily to stop drinking, but to drink with awareness. If you drink at all - whether it's a glass most nights or more on weekends - this episode helps you understand where the real risks begin, and how to make alcohol work for you, not against you. And for listeners using dry January as a reset, David shares practical, science-based advice on how to cut down safely and sustainably. If you're pausing and reflecting this dry January, what might change when you start drinking again? And which habits are worth leaving behind for good? Unwrap the truth about your food

If you're doing Dry January (or you've been sober-curious for a while) and you keep wondering, “Okay but… what's actually happening inside my body when I stop drinking?”—this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with registered dietitian Jennifer McDaniel, founder of McDaniel Nutrition Therapy, to walk through a real-life healing timeline from the first week to the one-year mark—including why many women feel worse before they feel better, what changes are happening under the surface, and how nutrition can help you ride out cravings and mood swings without white-knuckling it.

Dry January lasts about five minutes before TikTok reminds us who's really in charge. That spiral leads to water influencers, attention spans, and immediate regret. The Big Board is back, the glass dick gets passed, Florida Man delivers in red lingerie, and Movie Time, Dad Tip, and new segments kick off the year the only way this show knows how. New year. Same chaos.

Women have helped in wartime since the nation's founding, but they've only been allowed to serve in combat for the last 10 years. Today, a call to review the military's physical fitness standards could lead to fewer women on the frontlines. We look at the changing role of women in the US military. Then, when you hear the word “prepper,” you might picture someone stockpiling supplies for doomsday. But disaster preparedness looks a lot different. Also, Dry January doesn't have to mean white-knuckling your way through happy hour. And, Colorado Wonders about those mysterious-looking large domes that are often found along highways while driving the Western Slope. 

January has a way of forcing clarity. Some people lean into that through Dry January, which is about far more than alcohol. It's about recognizing the distractions we use to numb discomfort, delay discipline, and avoid our best work. In sales—and in life—success rarely breaks down because of a lack of talent. It breaks down because distractions keep winning. Today's conversation focuses on how discipline allows us to control ourselves, influence others, and make a meaningful difference. If you're serious about cutting distractions, honoring your God-given gifts, and building a better 2026, join Bill and I as we welcome Tim Murray to discuss Why Discipline Beats Distraction Every Time on Episode 702 of the Winning at Selling podcast.

Some of us may have overindulged during the holidays, and some of us may be trying a Dry January — or at least rethinking our relationship with booze. This is the time of year when we might notice how much alcohol has woven itself into our social lives, our stress management, our celebrations. Charles Knowles is a Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Chief Academic Officer at the Cleveland Clinic London, and his new book is called Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture. He joins us today to explain why problematic drinking isn't defined by how much we consume, and what we really need to know if we want to change our relationship with alcohol. And then in the second half of the show, we'll hear from philosophy professor Edward Slingerland, who will share ideas from his 2021 book Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization.

Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you'll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored?

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Sean Hannity attempts to coax Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump as a way to flatter him into installing her as Venezuela's president. Dr. Kristin Lyerly, OB-GYN and chair of the board of the Committee to Protect Public Health, joins the show to discuss RFK Jr.'s plan to reduce the number of vaccines recommended for newborns from 17 to 11. in the Fun Half: Sean Hannity tries to coax Maria Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump in hopes he'll return the favor by installing her as president on Venezuela Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Hines pretend to be confused on how vaccines are important to public health. RFK, Jr's claims there has been no research into links between autism and vaccines administered to newborns. Trump comments on the dilemma he faces in wanting young people to be able to buy homes but also not wanting to devalue the net worth of current homeowners. Of course, we know he will not address this crisis in any meaningful way. Stephen Miller and Jake Tapper debate Venezuela in a neo-con vs neo-liberal cage match. Francesca Fiorentini floats the idea the invasion of Venezuela could have started with GOP mega donor and owner of Citgo, Paul Singer. Chris Cuomo delivers a very confused monologue about Venezuela where he mashes several concepts together without any linearity or logic. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the US Senate or the House of Representatives.

So many of you start the new year with the best intentions to cut back on drinking, only to find yourself slipping up within the first few days or weeks.   Maybe you promised yourself you'd cut back on drinking this year, but then life happened. A stressful day at work. An awkward social situation. A craving that felt impossible to ignore. And now your brain is telling you that you've failed, that nothing matters, that you might as well give up.   Tune in this week to learn why that first slip-up isn't actually the problem, and what is. You'll discover high-quality questions to ask yourself after a setback that will help you build awareness instead of shame, and how to redefine success beyond perfect streaks.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/450

Use code VALERIA for 15% off at https://littlesaints.com In this episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with Megan Klein, founder of Little Saints, a non-alcoholic cocktails and spirits brand, for a candid conversation about sober curiosity, reinvention, and building a business that challenges the way we socialize. Megan shares her unconventional career path and what she discovered after testing nearly every non-alcoholic drink on the market. They dive into betting on yourself, her Shark Tank experience (and why she walked away from the offers), and her complicated relationship with the word “sober.” The conversation goes deeper into the physical and emotional effects of alcohol, why so many of us drink to numb, and what dating without alcohol can look like. Megan also opens up about how her personal experiences, including extensive work with ayahuasca, shaped her outlook on wellness, presence, and connection. It's a thoughtful, honest episode about choosing clarity, building something meaningful, and redefining what it means to feel good.

Today we have Sarah. She is 49 years old and lives in San Diego, CA. Sarah took her last drink on August 6th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored   Pick up your copy of Paul's newest book Dolce Vita. You can get it on Amazon, listen to it on Audible or order it at your favorite bookstore today.   Join us on January 10th for the start of our AF Ukelele Course. This course is sponsored by Kala brand ukelele and if you register, you get a code for 10% off an instrument.   [02:00] Thoughts from Paul:   This is the first podcast of the new year and maybe you are a new listener. Paul wants to cover some basics and let you know what we are about.   Recovery Elevator is about quitting drinking. The goal isn't cutting back, moderation or putting the beast back in the cage. It's full send on zero alcohol consumed.   Recovery Elevator is also about embracing that there is no right or wrong way to ditch the booze, just don't do it alone. No explanation needed her, we get it. What you'll find here and in Café RE is there is no judgment. We all know where you are and have been there ourselves.   Recovery Elevator is the podcast, courses, Dry January, sober travel, merch, Instagram and more.   Café RE is the non-profit alcohol-free community – it's the social app for sober people. We've got 25+ chats each week, Accountability Partner pairings, in-house AA meetings, book club, movie club, etc.   [06:27] Paul introduces Sarah:   Sarah is a painter and lives in San Diego with her partner and two daughters, 17 and 19. For fun, she enjoys surfing with her partner, backpacking with her older daughter and loves living on the beach.   Sarah says she grew up in an idyllic childhood. Her parents drank but not to excess. She recalls that she was a worried child with a tendency towards overthinking and had a addictive personality to many things.   Drinking wasn't part of her story while in school. She was on the cross-country team from seventh grade until she was a sophomore in college. After an injury took her out of the sport, she began to participate in parties more. She quickly recognized that drinking took away some insecurities and inhibitions and enjoyed that aspect but realized she couldn't moderate.  Sarah developed a "take it or leave it" attitude towards alcohol but developed an eating disorder. Food became the replacement for alcohol when it came to self-medicating.   After a divorce, Sarah made a new friend that was going through the same things. She confided in him about her eating disorder and he helped her find treatment for it. While in the process of recovering from the ED, she started using alcohol again and would replace meals with beer. Sarah began asking God, "why are we having me have another problem?" She knew she was meant for better things but was having a hard time stopping the addictions.   Sarah used prayer to try and find the help she was after. She began going to AA, listening to podcasts and working herself to try and gain the tools to decide the addiction wasn't an option anymore. She was able to gain some traction but relapsed after several months of sobriety. In spite of being upset about being back at day one, Sarah learned to just keep showing up for herself and others and stopped beating herself up.   Sarah has removed food and alcohol as options for coping. When she needs to get away, she utilizes the beach and the ocean. She enjoys the studio space with her art to help her get out of her head.   Sarah O'Connor Art   Sarah's Instagram   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down We gotta take the stairs back up We can do this.     Café RE RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

Hey guys! Happy 2026! I know Dry January is super popular, so I wanted to take today's episode to dive into alcohol and fat loss. We're diving into how and why it affects fat loss, and specifically how it's harder as we age. Research published on PubMed shows that women tend to reach higher blood alcohol levels than men drinking the same amount, partly because they generally have less body water and a smaller volume for alcohol to distribute into (PMID 10890798, PMID 11329488). Research also shows that as we age, total body water and lean body mass decline, so the same amount of alcohol results in higher blood alcohol concentrations in older adults (PMID 837653, PMID 18090653).Join the Shred (starts Jan 12th)Apply for coaching CURED Serenity gummies (code Emma saves 20% through jan)HAPI supplements The EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook

Get Your FREE Dry January Guide:  https://thesuccesslift.com/dry-january    Let's be real: quitting alcohol for 30 days sounds impressive. But if you go right back to old habits in February, what did you actually win?   In this episode, we cut through the noise around Dry January and talk about what actually drives long-term results. Spoiler: it's not perfection. It's strategy, systems, and self-awareness.   If you're serious about improving your health and your life, not just surviving January, this conversation is for you.   What we get into: ✅ Why all-or-nothing challenges often backfire ✅ The problem with "white-knuckling" your way through Dry January ✅ Why a "Damp January" might deliver better long-term results ✅ How to drink less without blowing up your social life ✅ Why slipping up doesn't mean you failed, it means you're human ✅ Building systems that work past January, not just through it   The big takeaway: If your plan ends on January 31st, it's not a plan. It's a pause.   Real change comes from playing the long game: setting realistic goals, designing your environment for success, and stacking small wins over time. Progress beats perfection. Every time.   Dry January isn't the win. Sustainable habits are.

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
