Dry January: A sober-curious conversation and beverage tasting

With a fresh year ahead and the high holidays in the distance, are you taking the Dry January challenge? Now more than a decade old, this public health initiative has become a cultural mainstay, with many people taking a break from the harmful effects of alcohol for the first 31 days of the year and finding a new supportive community along the way. Join WBUR senior reporter Ally Jarmanning for a panel discussion exploring the Dry January challenge and the rise of alcohol-free lifestyles

Panelists

• Laura McKowen— author and founder, The Luckiest Club
• Jana Wu—licensed clinical social worker and director of cultural integration, Mountainside Treatment Center
• CJ Mutti — owner and founder, Dry Humor

Copies of McCowen's book "Push Off from Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else)" will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and she will sign following the conversation. Guests will also enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage tasting and can purchase items from our Dry January market, featuring goodies from The Luckiest Club, Mountainside, Athletic Brewing Co., Dry Humor and more.
