Last year，nearly one in seven Americans took part in Dry January，a big task to keep away from wine for a month.The idea is to reduce something harmful from drinking too much and start the new year in a healthier way.The 31-day exercise began as a public health event in the UK about eight years ago and has been growing ever since.
   Dry January is a way to improve your relationship with wine，says Keith Heinzerling，a medicine researcher in California. "Taking time away from drinking for a short period of time is easier for many people than going straight to a full control，" he says. "Even just a few weeks give you a fresh attitude about health and the chance to break bad habits you may have with wine."
   ________，according to Dr.Heinzerling. "Within just few days of not drinking，your blood pressure and heart beat will be lower，and you'll have improved blood sugar level，better sleep，and fewer worries，" he says.
   Another point is that quitting wine often makes other good habits—exercise and healthy eating，for example—easier to start and keep on，which in turn leads to more good effects.
   For those who are worrying they might not be able to control themselves not to drink，Dr.Heinzerling says， "An important sign is how you feel when you wake up in the morning.For example，Johnson，a drinker lover，who wakes up with coughing or a strong need for a drink，should not do Dry January without medical help，" he says.
   For everyone—social drinkers and possible problem drinkers—one key to a positive Dry January is to see it not as a month of biting your teeth and getting through it until you can drink again，but rather the start of a healthier lifestyle overall.
