    WHEN DO I USE AN ALCOHOL ALTERNATIVE?

Transcript

Do I use an alcohol alternative? Like, obviously, whenever you rank, but the big a big one that we use it for all the time, my wife and I, when we worst. You don't you can't be drunk when people get to your house. You gotta you gotta take care of people. They're at your house. Right? You're serving. I'm cooking. I take care of the kid. Everything's going on. All I'm setting up while I'm getting ready, even in the shower or whatever, instead of a shower beer, Tier get a shower Audi. Setting it up, and and I've been mixing it with lemonade as well. That's what you see here. It's a little pink lemonade mixture with it. It's perfect. That is that is the number one use case for me in my life, especially in this phase of life where we're hosting people more. We're not going out as much.
