Abstract

Opening paragraph:
Many people make resolutions to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle after the New Year, and ‘Dry January’ is an opportunity to think about cutting down on alcohol consumption.

Making healthy resolutions are also important when planning for pregnancy. Planning and promoting an alcohol-free pregnancy, rather than just an alcohol-free month, will help to optimise the health of the future offspring and to improve maternal health.
