Sipping Smart Beyond Dry January: All About Infused Drinks at Archies

Jan 24, 2025

Every January, people around the world participate in “Dry January,” a month-long commitment to abstaining from alcohol. This trend has become more than just an annual challenge to reset after the holidays or keep a New Year’s resolution — it’s a movement toward better health, mindfulness, and overall wellness. But why stop in January? 

While alcohol in moderation can be enjoyable, many people are choosing to extend the spirit of Dry January and cutting back or completely abstaining from alcohol long-term. As part of this shift, many are turning to THC and CBD-infused drinks as a refreshing, wellness-focused alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages.

At Archies, we have both options for you whenever you want to indulge and are making it easy to embrace the benefits of this trend with our range of CBD and THC-infused beverages!

Why Dry January Is Here to Stay

The Dry January movement has gained traction as more people explore the benefits of reducing alcohol consumption. From improved sleep and increased energy to better focus and enhanced mood, the potential benefits are plentiful. While Dry January was designed to be a one-month-only detox, many people are adopting these alcohol-free habits throughout the year as part of a broader commitment to health and wellness.

The rise of alternatives such as THC and CBD-infused beverages has made it easier than ever to enjoy a social beverage without alcohol being the only option. At Archies, we take this concept a step further by offering a curated selection of infused drinks that provide the benefits of relaxation and balance without the buzz of booze.

Benefits of CBD & THC Beverages

Why are so many people embracing this alcohol-free lifestyle? Beyond avoiding hangovers, the decision often ties into broader goals, such as improving mental clarity and finding more balanced ways to socialize. For those looking for alternatives that allow them to sip smart without compromising on experience, infused beverages have become a game-changer.

Say Goodbye to Hangovers

Say goodbye to the dreaded morning-after headache, dehydration, and fatigue. Unlike alcohol, infused beverages—particularly those with cannabinoids like CBD and THC—can offer a relaxing, uplifting experience without the downsides of a hangover.

Enjoy Social Sipping

Infused drinks can easily replace traditional alcoholic beverages in social settings. Whether you’re catching up with friends or cheers-ing to a milestone, you can still enjoy the communal act of sipping a drink without alcohol’s impact on your body and mind.

Experience Wellness in Every Sip

Many infused drinks offer functional benefits tailored to specific needs. For instance, sipping on beverages with CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming properties) can be a soothing nighttime ritual, while CBD-infused options can promote recovery and anti-inflammation after a workout. Some even incorporate adaptogens and other natural ingredients to boost focus, immunity, or energy levels.
