Brew Monday falls on 17 January and is thought to be the most depressing day of the year.

A combination of post-Christmas blues, cold, dark weather and the tightening of purse strings may be some of the reasons why January can feel like a long and difficult month to get through. These pressures are said to peak on Brew Monday and can spark feelings of depression, sadness and general low motivation. However, there is no science behind this and feeling low and depressed can happen at any time.
