Thousands sign up for dry January

The Irish Heart Foundation’s second annual On The Dry campaign supported by 2FM has attracted nearly 3,000 registrants over the Christmas period so far from people looking to make a fresh, alcohol-free start in 2016.

According to organisers the campaign is on target to more than double its participation on last year aiming to top 4,000 sign ups from individuals, teams and workplaces. January 2015 was the first time a ‘Dry January’ style campaign ran in Ireland.
