The season when many drinkers abstain from alcohol for a month – what the Mail calls the "Janopause" – is upon us. However, according to the British Liver Trust it is medically futile and potentially harmful. If you drink too much for the other 11 months, one month off will not rejuvenate the liver – and it might even create a false sense of security, causing the smug Janopauser to drink even more from February onwards. Better, say the experts, to resolve to have a few dry nights every week in 2012. What do you think about taking a break in January, and the whole concept of a detox?
