Just because it's included, doesn't mean it's for me. I'm actually doing the opposite by not drinking it because I kind of do this playing out the tape. It's like, okay, so I start drinking, you know, I have the drink of the day that they come around with or whatever. Well, I end up like ruining a trip, causing conflict with my family, passing out in the pool, then they had to come and get me and then I break out in handcuffs, because that's what happens. It's like, okay, this is just gonna be a mess. So like, avoid the first drink. I don't have to worry about the 15th drink. I just have to worry about the first drink.
