Alcohol-free January plea

A charity is urging Britons to stop drinking for the whole of January to avoid more than 4.5 million working days being lost to hangovers.

Alcohol Concern has issued its Dry January challenge to drinkers on the back of statistics estimating that 200,000 people go to work with a hangover every day, costing the economy around £6.4 billion every year.
