Dry July, what is it?

Dry July is a sobriety challenge that takes place every year in July. Participants commit to not drinking alcohol for the entire month to support their health and often to raise funds for organisations that help cancer patients.

This challenge offers the chance to take a break from drinking during July, a period often associated with increased alcohol consumption.

If you may be dependent on alcohol, get medical advice before starting an alcohol-free challenge. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous. See NHS guidance on alcohol-use disorder.

A little history

Dry July was launched in 2008 in Australia by three friends looking to raise funds for cancer patients. The movement quickly gained popularity, first in Australia and then internationally, through its fundraising message and personal challenge.

By combining a noble cause with a personal challenge, Dry July motivates thousands of people to participate every year.
