We can hardly believe it's 2020 and that we've done a whole other rotation around the sun, but on the heels of all of the holiday overeating and binge-drinking, it may feel like your body needs something of a break. 

Enter "Dry January," the unofficial month that America has picked for cleansing, detoxing and being more all-around health conscious.

The benefits of abstaining from alcohol for just 30 days are numerous: you might find yourself in a better mood, sleep more soundly, boost your immune system, improve your skin, lose some weight and of course, save all the money you would have been putting toward booze.

"Dry January appeals to someone who may have noticed a pattern that they're drinking a little bit more than they should, especially during the holidays," psychologist and author Michael Levy says, according to Good Housekeeping.

So, if you're embarking on the month-long cleanse (congratulations, you've already made it one whole week!), or are using January as a launching pad for a more extended sobriety, we've got just the memes to keep you on track, and maybe have you giggle a bit on the way.

Keep scrolling for 13 dry January memes that'll make the month go by faster and encourage your progress throughout.
