We'd like to share some insightful data from our latest survey with you.
On New Year's Eve 2024, 30% of French people admitted to having drunk "significantly more than usual." While this trend is concerning, it is not surprising during the end-of-year holidays.
What concerns us more, however, is the low participation rate in “Dry January”: only 15% of those surveyed plan to take on the challenge of an alcohol-free January. This low level of participation highlights an urgent need for education and awareness-raising about responsible drinking.
At least it's encouraging that 66% of participants plan to cut back on their alcohol consumption after this period of overindulgence!
