Like, I don't really want a teetotaler for, like, a son.

And I took that so personally because I was like, Mom, a teetotaler?

That's what you think I'm doing?

Like, I'm spreading it.

This is a mission I'm on.

So there was some doubt.

I mean, I understand it.

Well, no one else was doing it.

Yeah.

And it was a whole new category of drink.

And it was completely against the grain of what everything that was out there.

No, so it's a great point.
