Going Sober for October

Going Sober for October

Britons spend a year of their lives hungover. Time for a sober October? Taking a month off the booze can have many potential benefits. Just imagine what you could achieve without a hangover. Do something amazing for people with cancer – Go 31 days with no lager, no wine… not even a shandy, all to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support’s vital work.

By having 31 gloriously hangover-free days you’ll not only be raising lots of money to help people with cancer, you’ll also be doing oodles of good for your own health. Together with a few small improvements to your diet and exercise routine you could expect to experience a range of the following:

  • Increased energy levels, higher productivity
  • Clearer head
  • No more hangovers
  • Sleeping better / snoring less
  • Weight loss
  • Clearer skin
  • Healthier bank balance / Save money
  • Sense of achievement
  • Fresh approach to alcohol consumption
  • Generally feel healthier
  • Doing something positive for a good cause

How can someone get involved?
Everything is managed through the Go Sober website. From here you can Sign Up, make and receive donations, run your own profile page, create a team, go ‘Head-to–Head’ with a mate or colleague, create a Designated Dryver event, see your national ranking, update your status and much more.

Although some people have quizzed the campaign saying “suggesting drinkers go cold turkey for a month could actually do more harm than good” – let us know what you think down in the comments.
