It seems to be a trend:the challenge to let alcohol stand for a month. Would you like that too, but does it seem difficult to you? Start today and you are not alone. 20,000 Dutch people participate in IkPas2016.
Conscious choice
There's nothing wrong with a glass of wine every now and then, but sometimes the habit of drinking creeps in a bit. IkPas is trying to make a conscious choice of alcohol again. By leaving alcoholic drinks for 30 days (for the carnivalers it is 40 days, the traditional fasting period), you become aware of your drinking. After the fasting period, it will also become easier to drink less than before.
Four times as many people are participating this year than last year. 65 percent think it will be difficult, but 70 percent are expected to stick with the challenge.
