Abstract
This paper presents the campaign "Dry'February" and explains its role both from the point of view of socio-epidemiological comparison with other countries, as well as that of the health of an individual. Dry February is a campaign supporting people to abstain from drinking alcohol during the shortest month of the year.
In 2019, this campaign took place already for the seventh time in Czechia. The origin of such campaigns can be found in Finland, where the campaign Dry January took place in 1942 for the first time as a part of the war effort.
In Czechia, which is traditionally leading world rankings of alcohol consumption, such an endeavor is more than welcomed, especially since it "normalizes" the option to abstain.
