0:00.0	This is Annie Grace and you're listening to this naked mind podcast where without
0:15.2	judgment, pain, or rules, we explore the role of alcohol in our lives and culture.
0:28.9	Hi, this is Annie Grace and welcome to this naked mind podcast. And today I'm really
0:33.1	excited because I am here with Jacqueline and she is a published author in the Netherlands who's
0:38.2	written this amazing book and Jacqueline. I am not going to be able to pronounce the title so.
0:43.6	Well, say to Dutch first, it's old Vainen, which could be if you do it literally, it would be
0:50.1	D wine or unwined, but then with an E in, so there would be a pun. So in the middle of the glass,
0:59.3	it says really happy alcohol free. Oh, that's so cool. That's really neat how you have that
1:06.3	pun of unwined, but unwined. I love that. That's awesome. So what I'd love to do is kind of just
1:13.6	start with your story. So I don't know if you can back us up and just kind of talk through sort

1:59.0	mid 70s, everybody was smoking inside and then it was all funny. And no, no, it wasn't common to
2:04.4	give to the alcohol, but it's just, you know, it's funny when people ask me, where did it start? I
2:08.7	always tell that story. Yeah. It started as, well, basically everybody, all my friends and I did
2:15.1	when we were going out at like 1670 and just trying things. And I remember when I first had my
2:22.0	first sip of beer that I just loved that feeling. I loved the feeling. It wasn't that I immediately
