How do I cut back on drinking? 10 tips for a successful Dry January

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:33:50 GMT

If you’ve decided to take a month away from drinking, you’re likely not alone. About 15% of U.S. adults reported they would participate in Dry January last year.The popularity of Dry January and Sober October brings certain advantages: bars are more likely to have a mocktail selection than they were a decade ago, and your friends will have heard of the concept of a dry month, even if they aren’t interested in trying one themselves.But changing habits around alcohol is still challenging, and the odds of success are higher if you go in with a plan, said Dr. Jeremy Kidd, a member of the American Psychiatric Association’s addiction council.While many people can stop or curtail drinking on their own, others need support from a doctor or mental health professional, he said.Dry January presents an opportunity for people to reconsider the role alcohol plays in their lives, he noted, but the same strategies work regardless of the season.Kidd recommended the following ...

Office space, “zombie buildings” key risk to Colorado’s economic outlook in 2024

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:33:50 GMT

Commercial real estate represents an anchor that is likely to only grow heavier in the months ahead as apartments join office space in stressing banks and weighing on the larger economy.“Office is a four-letter word right now,” said Marcel Arsenault, CEO and founder of Louisville-based Real Capital Solutions, while moderating a panel on commercial real estate at the Colorado Business Economic Outlook Forum, hosted by University of Colorado Boulder in early December.Falling interest rates might provide some relief, but they won’t reverse the reluctance lenders have when it comes to refinancing the massive amount of commercial real estate loans coming due, loans that were made when property values were much higher and interest rates much lower.The share of available office space in downtown Denver crossed 30% in the third quarter, marking the highest vacancy levels since 1990 when the state was coping with a severe energy bust.So-called “zombie” buildings...

Definition of child abuse in Colorado law should be narrowed, task force finds

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:33:50 GMT

A statewide task force created to reform Colorado’s mandatory reporting laws cannot do so without first asking lawmakers to change the state’s definition of criminal child abuse and neglect, members wrote in a 12-page report published this week.Colorado’s definition of criminal child abuse and neglect is too broad and should be narrowed to avoid conflating circumstances like poverty or homelessness with neglect and abuse, the task force members wrote in the report, which was published after the first year of the group’s two-year effort to reform the state’s mandatory reporting laws.The group plans to meet for 11 hours in January and February in order to create recommendations for change in the child abuse statute, according to the report, which noted that the laws around child abuse in some states are more nuanced than Colorado’s, and are better designed to ensure cultural differences and socioeconomic statuses don’t drive unfounded child ab...

SYDNEY (AP) — With fangs that could pierce a human fingernail, the largest male specimen of the world's most poisonous arachnid has found a new home at the Australian Reptile Park where it will help save lives after a member of the public discovered it by chance.The deadly Sydney funnel-web spider dubbed “Hercules” was found on the Central Coast, about 50 miles north of Sydney, and was initially given to a local hospital, the Australian Reptile Park said in a statement Thursday.Spider experts from the nearby park retrieved it and soon realized it was the largest male specimen ever received from the public in Australia.The spider measured 7.9 centimeters (3.1 inches) from foot to foot, surpassing the park’s previous record-holder from 2018, the male funnel-web named “Colossus".Sydney funnel-web spiders usually range in length from one to five centimeters, with females being generally larger than their male counterparts but not as deadly.
