What does a month without alcohol do to your body?

More than 100,000 people have registered for Tournee Minerale and will try not to drink alcohol this month.

The negative effects of alcohol are very limited with one or two glasses of alcohol - a few times a week. But with daily use of a few glasses, problems such as reflux of stomach contents can occur. But the risk of cancer of the organs of the digestive system is also increased with moderate use. With daily excessive use, the risk of addiction and permanent damage to the liver or pancreas is very high.

Stopping alcohol consumption for a month will have a positive effect on the direct consequences of alcohol in the short term. This way you will be more energetic and less tired when you get up. People who drink alcohol late at night will even sleep better. However, the long-term effects are limited unless you can permanently reduce your alcohol consumption by quitting for a month.
