    Solid time!!!

    !All good! As far as I know, “dry” has a definition of meaning “non-alcoholic”. For example, in “Dry January”, where people abstain from alcohol, and a “dry bar”, which you sometimes see advertised at events to let people know that there will only be non-alcoholic drinks served. I’m not 100% on the origin, I’ve seen some reference prohibition in the US where towns and states were labeled “dry” if alcohol was outlawed, but I’m sure something predates it if I dug further! I wonder if this is a North Americanism as well…!<
