About Dry Humor

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth, but most people call me CJ. I'm the owner and founder of Dry Humor, the Pioneer Valley’s premier destination for non-alcoholic beverages. Based in Easthampton Massachusetts, our mission is to provide the community of drinkers and non-drinkers alike with delicious alcohol alternatives and to bring awareness to the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle. Just because you're cutting back doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or taste!

In the U.S., people like myself are increasingly embracing sobriety or changing their drinking habits. But we still have a long way to go in breaking down the social stigma and cultural barriers surrounding recovery from alcohol use disorders (AUDs.) At Dry Humor, we offer a welcoming, evolved environment where people are encouraged to explore alcohol alternatives free from judgement!

All are welcome, so let's raise a glass and cheers to less hangovers and cleaner living!  

 

About the Founder

CJ lives in Easthampton Massachusetts with her wife and two dogs. She enjoys yoga, swimming, playing guitar and singing, but most of all, spending time with her amazing friends and family. CJ recognized her drinking habits as problematic as many others did during the COVID19 pandemic. With bars closed and social distancing in place, she found herself drinking alone more often and much more frequently. Finally, tired of the hangovers, anxiety, bloat, and prioritizing drinking over other things in her life, she decided to ditch the booze in 2023. Giving up alcohol allowed CJ to devote more time and energy to the things in her life she’d been neglecting, and to some exciting new things like starting Dry Humor! She realized that any fears she had associated with sobriety quickly dissolved after seeing all of the positivity it brought into her life, and she's committed to promoting these benefits through Dry Humor. 

CJ dedicates her sobriety and the founding of Dry Humor to her beloved brother Tom, who passed away in 2016 from an alcohol related illness. Through her work, she hopes to be a voice and resource for those whose lives, like hers, have been negatively effected by alcohol.
