Along with facing new challenges thanks to the pandemic, you may have noticed an uptick in feelings of boredom, depression, loneliness, or anxiety. You're also not alone if you've turned to alcohol to help manage some of those feelings. While there's nothing wrong with having the occasional drink, excessive drinking can negatively affect your physical and mental health. If you're looking for a reason to cut back — or reevaluate your relationship with alcohol — join the Sober-October challenge! What is Sober October? Sober October began in 2014 as a fundraising campaign for Macmillan Cancer Support, a U.K.-based charity supporting people living with cancer. This campaign's primary goal is raising money, but the movement also emphasizes the importance of checking in with yourself about your relationship with alcohol. Over the last few years, Sober October has become a more general worldwide movement. The only rule is to not drink during the month of October. But don't worry; if you think you will miss alcohol, several non-alcoholic brands can help you make the transition. Our favorites include Joyus and Surely wine brands, which offer a variety of non-alcoholic wines.
