Sir, – To those considering giving up the drink for a month, go for it! Moderate alcohol consumption may have some health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart disease in some individuals. However, the potential risks of alcohol, particularly in heavy drinkers, far outweigh any potential benefits. Abstaining from alcohol can free up time and energy that may have been previously spent on drinking, allowing individuals to engage in other activities that may be beneficial for their well-being and mental health.
The decision to abstain from alcohol for a while is a personal one, but why not give it a go?
The results may surprise you! – Yours, etc,
MARY BROPHY,
