Are you thinking of having a dry January, if so what do you drink?  Many soft drinks are high in sugar so I recommend Fevertree Naturally Light Tonics, or sparkling water with added fruit, or a squash without sweeteners and preservatives, such as Rocks or Belvoir.  Kombucha which is a fermented drink is good for your gut, and coconut water is good for balancing electrolytes (something to bear in mind if you have been drinking)
