[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Even people I know who still drink choose to have the NA beverage. It's come a long way. In the over the decade that I've been sober, those NA beverages were not available or not even a big thing when I stopped drinking. So now I feel even more included. And I was telling a friend that I went out with for dinner just to have the traditional glass in your hand of whatever kind of beverage that there's no alcohol and it makes me feel a lot more included.
