== Why? ==
[[Alcohol Concern]], in their attempt to raise funds since the UK Government - unusually - decided to cease their funding (#0.7 million in 2010/11 alone) in 2011 resulting in the loss of [[Don Shenker]] and their offices, have decided that the whole of the UK should go on the wagon in January of 2013, and raise money for... [[Alcohol Concern]].

The impact on the Exchequer of the loss of all that excise duty is never explained, let alone alluded to.

Nicknamed (by [[Alcohol Concern]]) [[Dry January]], people fed up with state and fake-charity intervention in what should be the private behaviour of individuals, created [[Drinkuary]] in the same sort of mockery that the puritanical [[Stoptober]] campaign (where, had it worked, the Exchequer would end up forgoing [[Cost of smokers|10% of the health budget]]) engendered the creation of [[Octabber]].
