SPRINGFIELD - Several new laws initiated by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias take effect today. The initiatives were passed in 2023 by the Illinois General Assembly before being signed into law. “I wish all Illinoisans a safe, healthy and happy New Year.

ST. LOUIS - Goodbye 2023! Now that the holidays are nearly over and overindulging is behind us, it's time for a reset. January has been coined, "Dry January".

What better time than the start of a brand-new year?" Committing to Dry January can lead to positive changes both physically and mentally. For a successful Dry January, individuals should have a strategy and set clear goals for managing cravings, peer pressure, and social situations that involve alcohol. When in a social setting, grab a mocktail
