From boozy brunches to happy hour, clubbing, concerts and sporting events, alcohol has become a major part of socializing, and although alcohol use spiked during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, young adults are drinking less and older adults are drinking more than in previous decades.
According to a Gallup report from last summer, drinking among adults older than age 55 increased 10 percent in the last decade, while 62 percent of adults under age 35 admit to drinking, down 10 percent from a decade ago.
If you’ve been wanting to take a break from alcohol, Dry January is a great time to get started.
Even celebrities are getting onboard with drinking less. Adele quit drinking for three months last year, the “I Drink Wine” singer revealed to a crowd during her Las Vegas residency in October 2023.
Country star Dierks Bentley revealed that he stopped drinking for two years. “A big part of it was just trying to see if I could,” the “Drunk on a Plane” singer shared with People magazine last November. “I’d been dabbling in taking breaks, but I liked the idea of being able to say you’ve done a year of sobriety. Not 30 days, not 90 days, a frigging year. That’s hard.”
R&B singer Ari Lennox closed out 2023 by celebrating one year of sobriety. In a since-deleted Instagram post, the “Pressure” singer said that alcohol helped her cope with a fear of flying. “I decided December 18th, 2022, would be the day I got clean. You know what I realized after [one] year of many sober flights? I never needed alcohol to get through the flight.” Lennox went on to share that her “toxic relationship with alcohol” left her “stagnant with closed eyes, hindering my growth and my healing.”
Katy Perry, who launched a line of non-alcoholic aperitifs called Des Soi in 2022, embarked on a three-month sobriety pact with fiancé Orlando Bloom last year. “We did this because he’s shooting a movie in London right now that’s taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive,” Perry said last June. “It’s really hard to do anything — whether that’s doing a cleanse or a reset — unless your partner’s doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier.”
Like Perry, Zayn Malik has also entered the world of non-alcoholic drinks. The pop star became co-owner of the mocktail brand Mixoloshe last year.
Regardless of whether you’re taking a break from alcohol or quitting altogether, it doesn’t hurt to get a little help sticking to your goal. Apps such as Try Dry, Sober January: Dry Day Tracker, Sober Time, and SoberBuddy can help you stay on track during your sober journey.
As for your drink routine, there’s plenty of non-alcoholic beer, wine and champagne to choose from, along with non-alcoholic whiskey, vodka and tequila — and if you’re in the mood for a non-alcoholic nightcap, the “sleepy girl mocktail” is viral on TikTok.
To help you get started, we’ve rounded up a list of six, bestselling non-alcoholic drinks — including zero proof beer and tasty mocktails — to help you get through Dry January and beyond.

Say goodbye to whatever refillable lipsticks you’re currently using, because R.E.M. Beauty‘s limited-edition collection is serving not only a baby pink lip gloss, but also includes a highlighter and liquid eyeshadow in similar ballet pink colors to help you craft soft, monochromatic looks.
You can’t shop the new makeup yet, but you can sign up to join the waitlist here. Plus, if you’re a new user signing up for updates from the brand, you’ll be able to score 10% off the Yours Truly collection when it drops.
The makeup brand announced the limited collection on Instagram with a photo of the “Yes, And?” singer sporting light pink tights, a mini wrap skirt and a wrap long-sleeve top, which is typically worn by ballet dancers, further showing Grande’s shift toward balletcore. As further proof, the pink shades the collection boasts are similar to that of a ballet slipper that you can see modeled in another Instagram post R.E.M. Beauty posted on Jan. 11.
“yours truly ♡ see you on january 16,” the caption reads, followed by a video of models showing off the new highlighter, lip gloss and liquid eyeshadow.
For Grande, the new collection also represents the ideal tie-in to her beauty routine and music, as well as encapsulates the vibe of what you can expect from her new album.
“I love taking any opportunity I can to marry the music to the makeup, as I think they help bring each other to life in such a beautiful way and always have!” said Grande in a statement on the new collection’s landing page. “My makeup has changed so much throughout the years, and it’s such an important piece of the storytelling puzzle to me. I’m excited to release these new colors that I truly feel capture the energy of the Yours Truly era so perfectly. We hope you enjoy these new, soft, sweet shades that are perfect for driving down Honeymoon Avenue or sipping a pop of pink champagne!”

Not your average shades! Maluma is seeing things differently thanks to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
The “Según Quién” singer, who stars in the campaign for the latest iteration of Meta‘s smart glasses, likes wearing them because they allow him to share his “unique point of view” with fans.
“They’re super simple to use and feel like the average pair of sunglasses, except now I am more present,” the 29-year-old singer explained in an email interview with Billboard before heading back home to Colombia for the holidays.

“My favorite thing about the glasses is that I can share my unique point of view while living my life, enjoying moments with family and friends and even while on stage.”
Ray-Ban and Meta tapped Maluma, Erykah Badu, Coi Leray and Coco Gauff to launch the newest installment of smart sunglasses. The Meta Wayfarer and Meta Headliner smart glasses are available in seven different colors, including shiny rebel black with amber lenses, shiny black with clear lenses, matte black with clear/green lenses, shiny caramel with brown lenses, matte jeans with dusty blue lenses, matte black with graphite lenses and shiny black with green lenses.

I even wore the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer during my Latin Grammys performance [last November].”
