Suzanne Harrington: Having a drink problem makes Dry January easy peasy 

Normal drinkers, the ones who’ll casually place half full bottles of booze back in the fridge, or even more hilariously, have what they refer to as a ‘booze cupboard’, may not quite get this.

You did it. You made it through the 58 days of January. Spare a thought then for animal lovers with a drink problem, for whom Dry Veganuary is an all-year-round thing. There are upsides to this. 

As well as it being unlikely you’ll die of cirrhosis or ass cancer – although you could still get hit by a bus on your way into the tofu shop – one of the more unexpected upsides of all-year-round Dry January is that (a) fake booze has had a massive rebrand and (b) you get to stockpile it.
