Even if you're taking a booze break, you won't have a shortage of places to find fun refreshments.

Context: This year marks the 10th anniversary of Dry January, a campaign started by a British charity in 2013 to abstain from alcohol.

  • Reducing alcohol consumption even for a month has health benefits, including improved sleep and more energy, according to Harvard Medical School.

Here are six local bars with drinks that won't break your booze-free beginning of 2023:
