Dry days are those sad days when whether you want to or not, you feel like drinking. So there are about a dozen of such days throughout the year and the list of dry days is usually released at the beginning of the year. The good news is August is the month with many holidays, but the bad news is dry days also coincide with a lot of these holidays. August has more than one dry day in the month and nearly all of them fall around weekends. (Don’t be sad). Just so that you guys know beforehand, here’s a list of all the dry days in August. You’re welcome!
