Maya Feller, registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of Maya Feller Nutrition, agrees. “Not drinking will improve your mental state,” she tells Bustle. “Alcohol can be a depressant, and removing it can help to boost your overall mood.” Feller says that because alcohol can change your mental state, the feeling of being buzzed signals a change in your awareness. “Cutting alcohol out for the month can help you to be more aware of your choices and interactions,” she says.
