Let me see if I can go out to a bar with my friends and stay sober and what that's like for me.

Or let me try going to this event and not drink.

Or let me see how I feel.

Let me cut it out for this amount of time.

So people are kind of dipping their toe into the sobriety world without going all the way in and diving in, if you will.

And...

You know, so younger people are trying these newer drinks instead of traditional alcoholic beverages.

And, you know, a lot of people use these THC drinks or what are you laughing about in there?

Right.

Right, exactly.

Or it's like when you have a really horrible hangover and you say, I'm never drinking again.

That's sober curious, too.

I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't do this to myself anymore.

Maybe this doesn't feel so good.

I think my body is yelling at me.

You're like, I'm never drinking again.

And then all of a sudden it's next weekend rolls around and it's like, I'm back.

I was curious for a little bit, but not too curious.

But, you know, people are using these drinks to get through dry January, which is – it kind of begs the question, are you really doing dry January if you're ramping up smoking weed or you're replacing alcohol with some other vice?

Is it really – are you really sober curious?
