If your Mac desktop currently looks like an explosion in a library with 50 open tabs, don't feel guilty.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:36)
You're listening to Comedy Central.

**Lewis Black** (1:53)
Ah, alcohol. It's why I get up in the morning. How my mom made it through her pregnancy. And why I'm not allowed within 50 feet of a horse.
Booze is the most committed relationship I'll ever have. But some people know nothing about commitment.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:13)
Dry January, the challenge of giving up drinking for the first month of the year is growing in popularity.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:19)
Happy Dry January. It's the month where folks ditch the booze and go alcohol free.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:24)
One report found that 25% of American adults completed Dry January last year.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:30)
A lot of people are gonna be doing Dry January.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:32)
I have done Dry January every year now for three years.

**Lewis Black** (2:36)
Well, goody goody for you! It must be nice to have the luxury of giving up booze, while the rest of us are trapped in f***ing reality. Wildfires, bird flu, crippling gambling debts. If you're not blacking out every single night, you're not paying attention.
And by the way, why are we giving up alcohol in January? It's colder than Jack Frost's dick. All your fat friends are posting gym selfies, and it gets dark faster than Justin Trudeau's face on Halloween.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:18)
Oh, please!

**Lewis Black** (3:21)
Me, I'd much rather give up booze in May. The weather is warm, and I'm already coked up for Cinco de Mayo.
But for those of you not sure about dry January, don't worry. There's something even dumber.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:38)
For some people, that looks dry. For others, it might look damp. A damp January would mean only drinking on special occasions, adding more dry days to your month, or consuming fewer drinks in each sitting.

**Lewis Black** (3:51)
Damp January? Are you shitting me? Damp January sounds like someone I paid for a lap dance in the 80s.
Just say drinking less. Not everything needs a label. I'm in a short-term situation ship. No, you got a hand job from a coat check girl. Now move on with your life. Quitting booze may seem like a good idea today, but once TikTok goes away, you're going to be getting hammered at Dave and Buster's with me and Pete Hegseth. Fair warning, I tend to shit my pants on Dance Dance Revolution.
Now I get it. Some of you don't like fun. But if you're out with your dipshit friends and you can't drink booze, surely there must be something you can drink.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:51)
During dry January, people sip on mocktails, cocktails without any alcohol content.

**SPEAKER_8** (4:57)
There are great non-alcoholic wines, beers and spirits that are on the market today.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:01)
Global sales of no and low alcohol products reaching more than $13 billion last year.

**SPEAKER_10** (5:07)
Companies are cashing in too. Stars releasing non-alcoholic products like Katy Perry's booze-free beverage line, DaySplash.

**SPEAKER_11** (5:14)
A great time.

**SPEAKER_10** (5:15)
And Tom Holland's non-alcoholic beer company, Biro.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:18)
This is from Proxies.

**SPEAKER_6** (5:20)
This is their bubbly rosé.

**SPEAKER_12** (5:21)
Could you add alcohol if you wanted to?

**Lewis Black** (5:24)
You could.

**SPEAKER_10** (5:24)
You could.

**Lewis Black** (5:26)
Wowee! An alcohol-free drink that you can add alcohol to. If only Thomas Edison were alive to see this.
