Listen to this article:For many people, January can feel like an uphill battle, with the festive cheer in the past and the days cold and dark. Some people take on the added challenge of Dry January and avoid alcohol for the entire month following the indulgence of the holiday season.
Unfortunately, this can sometimes limit social opportunities. Luckily, the perfect way to add fun to your evenings while keeping your Dry January goals is bingo.
Recent years have seen bingo undergo a massive transformation. Today, in addition to traditional halls, the venues are high-energy hubs of entertainment that have been designed to appeal to a younger crowd with energetic hosts and live entertainment and music. This transformation has seen celebrities such as Adele, Robbie Williams, and Amanda Holden embrace the game and help bring it back into the limelight.
For those taking part in Dry January these bingo venues offer an alcohol-free alternative to a night out that is still packed with excitement. Instead of sitting at home watching TV or reluctantly ordering a soft drink in a pub, you can enjoy a laughter-filled evening with friends and possibly win a prize or two. Better yet, most bingo venues now offer mocktail menus and plenty of food options, making it easy to stick to your resolutions without feeling as if you’re missing out.
Bingo has always been a social game, which is one of its biggest draws. The game is perfect for group settings and the light-hearted atmosphere at the modern venues presents plenty of opportunities to laugh and share in the excitement. Unlike other activities that might require complicated skills or intense focus, bingo allows you to relax and enjoy the experience. Even if your bingo card doesn’t deliver a win, as regular players will know, the fun of the evening ensures you’ll have a great time.
Another great aspect of the game is its affordability. After the financial stretch of the festive season, many people are carefully watching their budgets in January. Luckily, a bingo night out doesn’t require a major investment. You will find special offers at many venues that include your bingo cards, something to eat, and (non-alcoholic) drinks at a reasonable price.
As noted, many modern halls offer live entertainment alongside the game, which makes them even better value for money. Popular venues such as Hijingo Bingo take the traditional game to a new level with high-energy music and interactive hosts. There are often mini-games or performances between rounds, which only add to the fun, and they are easy to enjoy without the need for alcohol.
Don’t worry if the high-energy bingo of venues such as HiJingo doesn’t appeal. There are bingo halls for every taste. You are likely to have a traditional bingo hall near you, offering multiple sessions a day at a very reasonable price. However, many of these venues also run the occasional themed event, such as a retro throwback party or concert. Of course, you can also enjoy online bingo sites at home.
If you are feeling bored with the Dry January challenge, then incorporating bingo into your social calendar this month is the perfect antidote. It’s fun, affordable, and there is absolutely no requirement to drink any alcohol. Furthermore, if you are lucky enough to find yourself the winner of an enormous jackpot, then there are some excellent non-alcoholic sparkling wines around, which provide the perfect way to celebrate while sticking to your New Year’s resolutions.
