“How easy they were and how they were helpful suggestions. I would be like “that’s a great point” and they made me stop and think.”
“They were a quick way to get reminders of things. Very convenient.”
“It was really short and simple.”
“I feel like someone cared about me.”
“I liked generally the reminder. It was nice to see it in a text and made me think about what I was going to be doing later and remind me to drink responsibly.”
“liked that it made you think about common nights that people would be drinking, make you think about your choices more than you typically would if no one was reminding. think about keeping in control and what you are doing.”

“Short and easy, 2 sentences are too long”
