| 0:35.0 | Alright, welcome back everyone. |
| 0:37.0 | We are talking today why you shouldn't take a break from drinking too seriously. |
| 0:44.0 | Why you shouldn't really take your drinking too seriously or really take anything in life too seriously. |
| 0:51.0 | If right now you're like, what is she talking about? If this seems really counterintuitive, I get it. |
