Reflecting on Dry January

Hi there,

I hope you had a restful holiday, spent exactly however you intended to. I’ve loved watching you make Ghia part of your celebrations throughout the last month. The party may be (almost) over, but in our world of non-alc beverages, January is our Super Bowl. And this year, we’ve decided to do something that we rarely do: talk about alcohol.

When I started working on Ghia 5+ years ago, anyone brave enough to order a mocktail was assumed to have an "unhealthy" relationship with alcohol, or accused of being a complete buzzkill. Today, things are so different!

It’s in the spirit of choice and intention, two words that guide a lot of our work every day, and in this special time of introspection (“resolution season”) that we wanted to share with you a few stats and materials that caught our attention this year. TLDR: No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health, but for us it’s about consuming more intentionally instead.

If you’re trying to build little habits that will last, I can’t recommend a Ghia subscription enough (available within each of our product pages) - you’re locked in at the very best price forever, but you can edit or skip seamlessly, anytime, with a quick text message.

I hope you’ll enjoy this week of rest, and please share your findings with me – my inbox is always open!

Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year,

Melanie and the Ghia team
