Get healthier
Through giving up alcohol for a month you do your body and mind a lot of good. The Alcohol Experiment is a 30-day programme with a difference. Each day, it will show you a new way of thinking about booze, and ask you to look a little closer at why we drink, what we get out of it, and whether it's really the alcohol that's giving us what we want.
Available from Waterstones and WHSmith £12.99.
