Dry and fly from East Midlands Airport

Summary

Good news for people who have given up booze for January. The money saved from not buying alcohol could be spent instead on flights from East Midlands Airport.  

Assuming the average weekly spend per person on alcohol is £44 or £176 a month, it won’t take long to put money aside for flights. And if you’re prepared to give up for longer, you’ll soon have enough to pay for an entire holiday.

For the same price as the average weekly spend on your favourite tipple, you could travel to a European city, for example. Not only will you it broaden your mind but you’ll feel great having given up alcohol for a few weeks.”
