Verily, man, this wizard peace is splendid. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "spirits o' field and vineyard" or something along those lines, and every one around him was showered in fresh-baked pastries and loaves, had their cups fill with aged wine, and then were soothed by a warm summer breeze. The minstrels didn't even sing his praises, that's what a joyous time this is. And here I've just been casting calming dew and level 2 aura of cheer. I think I just heard "power word: dessert" two groups over. I gotta get over there.

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter’s Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier’s garb under a doorway at Pompeii)
Queued right up for it
I think one month of going alcohol free is a lot more reasonable than asking everyone to just 100% give up alcohol. Because I have nothing against casually drinking here and there, I do myself. But I do have a problem with the way most cultures, especially western cultures, encourage a MASSIVELY unhealthy relationship with alcohol and shame anyone who doesn't participate in having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol as "prudish" and "no fun".
If just practicing one month of abstaining from alcohol was more widespread I think more people would realize how unhealthy their relationship with alcohol actually is. Maybe more people would realize they have a problem when they realize they're struggling to go just one month without alcohol.
Maybe people would learn better ways to socialize and meet new people without alcohol. Maybe people would learn more ways to have fun without alcohol. Maybe if more people tried to go just one month without alcohol it could create social change around how much our culture encourages an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
