Does Dry January actually work?

As the new year arrives, many people globally commit to "Dry January," aiming to abstain from alcohol for the entire first month of 2024.

In the previous year, 41% of surveyed U.S. adults planned a sober start, though only 16% maintained their commitment throughout January.

Despite the challenge of sticking to such resolutions, experts are optimistic about increased dedication in 2024.

"Gen Z Says" chronicles Gen Z's impact on fashion and beauty, with 2023's trend being "girl vocabulary" on TikTok, reflecting a nostalgia and simplicity in lifestyle.

Critics argue these trends are more marketing tactics than genuine shifts.

However, fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen suggests this move towards nostalgic themes indicates a deeper psychological need for comfort and control among consumers.

January offers a packed TV lineup with major returns and debuts. "True Detective" is back with Jodie Foster, Marvel launches "Echo," and "Ted" premieres on Peacock.

Other highlights include new shows featuring Mandy Patinkin, Ryan Murphy's "Feud," and series starring Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Vergara, Nicole Kidman, and Ruth Wilson.

The A.V. Club has compiled a guide to these top 17 shows and other notable TV returns.
