But look at how much you've helped people. They do get invested. It's like when we normalize, you know, these experiences we have, I mean, alcohol, whether you're an alcoholic or not, or identify that way or have substance use disorder, regardless, it's a toxic, addictive substance, especially when you drink too much.
