We would like to share with you some revealing data from our latest survey.
On New Year's Eve 2024, 30% of French people admitted to having "drunk a lot more than usual". This trend, while worrying, is not surprising during the festive season.
However, what we find most striking is the limited participation in the 'Dry January': only 15% of those surveyed plan to take up the alcohol-free January challenge. This low take-up underlines a crying need for education and awareness of responsible drinking.
We're pleased to report that 66% of the panel plan to reduce their alcohol consumption after this period of indulgence!
