I was like, but this is going to be an absolute disaster.

And oh my God, again, cliche, but we ended up having the best crack.

And I realized then that was the night I went, oh no, this is fine.

If this night can be even better and I've got a fractured ankle and I've got stage four cancer and I'm not drinking, like if this can be the best night ever, then, you know, it's all.

So I just feel like I just have cut out a lot of extraneous stuff in my life that I realized I just went to because there was going to be

alcohol there or you know and then like you know just i go home from things when i want to i wake up feeling good i mean i could we could do a whole other podcast about we will you know what i mean about the benefits no it's boring and it sounds so smug oh don't drink i don't have any judgment around anyone drinking by the way i'm just talking about i just want to introduce people to another way of thinking about

But if you'd have been trying to introduce that to me four and a half years ago, Ray, I'd have been like, yeah, Ray, thanks very much.

Go off now there with your kombucha, I'd have said to myself.

And even friends I have who don't.

And now it's great.

Like I went out, we went to a beautiful weekend away recently with two friends who just happened to not drink.

And, you know, it was really nice as well, because not that I mind anyone who would.

I don't care about being around people who drink.

I don't care about being around drunk people even.

I just care about whether I'm having fun myself anymore.

And if I am not...

I go home.

But before I would be like, no, there's more wine to be drunk and there's more things.

And I might, something might happen at two o'clock in the morning that might be really the best thing that's happened all night, which is so ridiculous.

But I mean, you know, my kids are at an age where they're, you know, that's going to all be ahead of them.
