I'm giving up alcohol during January for the 3rd year in a row. Here's how it helps me understand my relationship with drinking after almost losing a loved one to alcoholism.

of more than 22,000 adults, 14% indicated interest in partaking in Dry January this year compared to 23% in the year prior. At the same time, 33% stated they "don't ever" drink, up from 24% in December 2018.

While attending a family wedding, my similarly underage and inexperienced cousin and I sensed an opportunity to catch up. We ordered "Grey Goose on the rocks," trying our best to emulate sophisticated adults we had seen in movies, before quickly discovering we did not like the taste of straight vodka. Switching to Champagne, we kept refilling our flutes until the fizzing bubbles left us in fits of giggles as the ground beneath us started spinning.

Over the next few months, I waded tepidly into the party scene, before diving in headfirst to repeatedly try and fail to test my limits. I had my fair share of shameful moments at the mercy of alcohol, and while I'm thankful I managed to stay safe in these situations, I have regrets.
