Dry January is now over for the many who stopped drinking for the month, but for Jess Warren the test has only just begun. At the age of 25, the 大象传媒 London journalist has decided to stop drinking alcohol for an entire year.

She says: "Towards the end of 2023, I began reflecting on the reasons why I drink. I was "sober curious" - a phrase that has risen in popularity in the past three years. Over the past 12 months, I had made a few new friends who were sober, and they were some of the most fun people I knew."

So how's it been going so far? And what does she hope to achieve?

Jess has been speaking to 大象传媒 Radio London's Eddie Nestor about the challenge.
