Alcohol consumption increases cancer risk. This 'Dry January', explore how herbal teas can help you wind down in the evening as an alternative to alcohol.
In July of 2023 I sent pictures of 16 teas that had landed in our cupboard hoping that a dietician would rank them in order of benefit (I come with a few conditions that I'd try to gently treat with tea)
Irish Breakfast Black Tea
Lipton Black Tea
Bigelow Green Tea
Organic Green Tea
Red Refresh Herbal Tea
organic lemon ginger herbal tea
Winter comfort tea
Licorice Spice tea
Gingerbread Rooibos with Cinnamon, Ginger and Vanilla
Well Rested herbal tea
Winter Wake Up Tea
Peppermint Herbal Tea
Chamomile Herbal Tea
Ginger Turmeric loose tea
Chocolate Candy Cane Black Tea
Teavana Mandarin Mimosa
I don't drink alcohol because of one of those conditions and since my brother was an addict I thought it best to avoid things that are harmful to be addicted to...
Since I became 72, I have found that drinking alcohol does not benefit me any more. Or maybe it is my improved lifestyle of yoga, walking, and less sugar that makes me feel like I don't even need a glass of wine. My go to drink in the evening is Teeccino tea. there are many flavors and they taste good to me.
This is my 2nd Dry January and I rely heavily on my huge tea stash to replace my typical daily alcohol habit. At 67 and, given the new Surgeon General’s warnings, and the encouragement of this excellent article, I believe my alcohol consumption need ms to change permanently. Thank you for all the great information.
Tisanes are a big thing here is France. My favourite though is a good old fashioned nettle
I love nettle, too! Simple and refreshing.

Great list of teas! Thanks for sharing this Robert
I can post a link to pictures of all the boxes, just let me know where would be a good place to share them.

Looks like you have a great routine! I've never tried the roasted teas from Teeccino before. Thanks for sharing that!

Fantastic! This is my first dry January and I'm excited to give it a go. Great to hear you're doing it a second time!
