    I introduced Drunk History to my AP U.S. History class, and throughout the year students found the drunk version of whatever we were learning. It made it a lot more fun!

    I love watching Drunk History. It is hilarious and can be educational as long as you don't need an in depth telling of history (they're drunk so naturally they tend to simplify the story which is why it's funny). I do question historical accuracy though. Not because I don't think the people they talk to or their fact checkers don't try to be as accurate as possible, but because when most people read or hear history stories they think, 'oh, well it must have happened just as they said it did because it's history' but history is more complicated than that. Most of the time I think (or hope) that history sources do the best at trying to tell just the facts, but over time facts can be skewed depended on the sources (who or where is the source from, how factual or opinioned are those sources, how far apart is the telling and the actual act because memory is not 100% accurate). I'm not saying don't trust Drunk History or enjoy watching the show, like I said I love watching it, but I'm just saying as my AP history teacher told me in high school to always be a little skeptic and always question and research before taking it as the truth. Of course I think this also applies to other situations but I think history can get a little over looked because people tend to think it's history, so it must be true.

    • @PianoForteKitty

    I love drunk history for entertainment purposes, but when he says that it’s factually accurate, but I think that’s a little ambiguous. Even though the outline and simple facts are accurate, a lot is left for speculation. Also, a lot is left out too so I don’t know how much people are learning. Everyone here on the comments is saying how this is the best way to learn history doesn’t like history. I don’t think people should try to keep teaching it past school. We should make people accountable and responsible for their curiosity and knowledge seeking. Read!
