The humorist Christophe Alévêque was the guest of Sébastien Krebs on Tuesday in Europe Matin.

He took the opportunity to push a rant against the month without alcohol, called the "Dry January" across the Channel, denouncing in this operation the desire to suppress all pleasures and to make people feel guilty.

With the month of January also comes the operation called "Dry January", a tradition born in England.

The goal is not to drink alcohol for a month.

A principle that does not please the humorist Christophe Alévêque, guest of Sébastien Krebs in Europe Matin, and who has even signed a platform with other personalities to oppose this call for sobriety.

All that is a source of pleasure is removed

"What bothers me is the ideology behind it. That is to say that we are already unhappy. When they threw this stupid idea, I don't know where it came from, we did not imagine that we were going to have one more confinement, maybe a third one that was going to happen.And indeed, we realize that this idea is totally absurd since at the moment, in our country, everything that is a source of pleasure is eliminated. We can no longer go to the theater, we can no longer go to the cinema, we can no longer go to bars, restaurants and the only source of pleasure we can have is drink a glass of good wine, "reacted the comedian.

Excess of the end of year celebrations or not, Christophe Alévêque said he was against this principle imposed to ease the foot: "First, we do what we want and that is called the diet. For me , the ideology behind the "Dry January", wants us to be made to feel guilty in a way. We are infantilized. And then, it is above all this moral order which makes that now, we eat meat without meat, alcohol without alcohol, coffee without coffee and we would even like to wage wars without death. Here we are, we would even like there to be pandemics without victims, "the artist continued.

"Something in the order of guilt"

"The dictators of the Empire of Good who tell us that we must not smoke, that we must not drink, that we should not drive if we do not want an accident ... of our life all that can possibly bring us a little pleasure. And it is not worth that a bunch of morons add us the month without alcohol, they do what they want. There, those who do not want not eat meat, do not eat meat Those who defend the animal cause, defend the animal cause Those who defend all the causes of the world, and God knows if it is forbidden, do what they want.

But there is something about guilt in there and above all it seems to say: 'This is for your good.

Look, you're going to live a hell of a lot longer and end up dying from a virus in an EPAD.

And all that annoys me.

Now it's the month without having sex that will follow you.

And then the month yes, the month that ... Then after a while, we won't do anything at all. "
