To us, it doesn't make sense. We've seen a lot of dry Januaries. And I've seen a lot of people not make a dry January and they keep drinking. I would say a lot of people who do dry January don't make the full month of January. There's always that, oh, I'm going to sober up now. It's January, right? Then they don't get sober. They make it a week and then it's like off to the races again. I don't know. I find this fascinating. That's what we have to say about that. That's it.
