It’s not the first time the radio DJ has paid attention to his alcohol consumption. For example, he writes that he has gone several consecutive months without alcohol over the past year. It was this experience that made him decide to ‘tie all those periods together’. That’s why Sander won’t be drinking through 2023. “The goal is to investigate what it does to me if alcohol isn’t an option in my daily life for a year.”
While others usually only start their New Year’s resolutions on January 1st, Sander has already made the decision: “I’ve been quitting for three months and I have to say that I really like it.” He immediately reaps the rewards of his experiment: “I have more energy, I sleep better, I feel more comfortable in my own skin and I no longer have a hangover!” Every day he wakes up well rested ‘with no dry mouth and no black holes from the night before’.
Though he achieved this milestone on his own, the radio DJ says he’s gotten a lot of support from podcasts like Honest about alcohol in What would you like to drink.
