New Year and Moderation: The Hedonist Labs Commitment

We'd like to share some revealing data from our latest survey.

On New Year's Eve 2024, 30% of French people admitted to having "drunk much more than usual". This trend, while concerning, isn't surprising during the end-of-year festivities.

However, what strikes us more is the limited take-up of 'Dry January': only 15% of respondents are planning to take on the alcohol-free January challenge. This low uptake highlights a pressing need for education and awareness around responsible drinking.

Still, it's encouraging that 66% of the panel plans to cut back on their alcohol consumption after this period of overindulgence!
