Good for Bill. I quit about 2 years ago. I started feeling like total garbage the next day. Waking up exhausted, headache, depressed, and miserable. The misery outweighed the fun as I got older. I also used to think I was charming and funny when I was drunk, but I realized I was mostly obnoxious.
You never got that bad if you never got the shakes or a withdrawal seizure at the hospital. That's where I was 6 months ago. I'm not trying to one-up you; I'm only saying that you're lucky that you didn't take the addiction that far.
I drink for boredom. I have kids, no social life, a job with long hours. The only thing I’ve got to look forward to is a day off work when I can sit down, play a few games and have too many beers. It’s literally boredom. But increasingly it’s not worth it the next day, the bloated stomach, the groggy head, lack of energy.
That’s my problem. Just turned 30. No kids, wife or even serious gf. Whenever I’m not at work I’m drinking alone at home and tbh I actually like it. I know I could be better and do better but it’s hard to give up. Been doin it 4yrs now. I’m too deep down the rabbit hole and don’t know how to stop now lol
You need some hobbies bro. I don’t drink but have filled my life with other meaningful activities to better myself and keep myself happy when I’m not working.
I got sober from booze & oxy 5 years ago. But 3 times I tried to see if I could drink normally, 3 times I failed miserably. Now I'm 3 years sober & can't imagine drinking ever again, sobriety is the best decision I've ever made.
The drinking when married part is very spot on but he has a great wife and kids so I’m pulling for him to stay sober. I was married and have a daughter and did the same crap but we had a horrible breakup. Then let me tell you I went off the rails for years after that. My health suffered to the point that I had to stop if I wanted to stay on this earth. Burr is a smart guy and he knows as you get older it effects you differently.
“Don’t invite the devil in to your home” I tell my friends I don’t drink alone or leave any alcohol in my home. They don’t understand and think I am overcompensating but this is how I stay in the driver seat and not the alcohol.
I have 4 bottles of wine two types of German/Belgian beer and some Irish whiskey hanging out over in my bar right now, it definitely makes it harder lol but hey once it all finished I’ll stop ✋🏼
You can drink and still be in the driver seat it's called DUI lol no really you just turn into super dave if you remember him like a funny evil conevil
I never have alcohol in the house either. I know if it’s in the house, I’m gonna drink it. I don’t understand the concept of moderation either. I’m quitting completely.
I was a great, funny, loud guy when I drank and partied for so long until I realized the Mr. Hyde that came out whenever I “fell in love”. For some fucken reason It doesn’t mix well with relationships. So I’m quitting. 7 days sober so far.
I’m an alcoholic but I don’t want to quit even though I know I should. It’s ruining my physical health and the relationships to my family and friends. But I love drinking and being drunk so much that I don’t think I can quit. I don’t know what to do.
I was once a heavy vodka drinker that even the dude at the liquor store thought I had a problem buying 1 gallon a week and used to have a water bottle of vodka everywhere I went and it wasn't until I drank a pint of everclear wich is 95% alc/vlm and woke up the next day so sick I haven't drank since then and it been a few years now I'm not the person who counts the days and stuff
I'm tryin to quit fuckin around before it's too late. Some people have to have something tragic happen to them before they "wake up". Sometimes I worry I'm gonna be one of those people
I haven't had a drop in almost 2 years. I had a big problem with drinking, and quit for 8.5 years, then was able to drink occasionally without issue. However in December of 2018, I just decided that drinking even seldomly was pointless. So I just decided not to do it. I have a lot of alcohol in my house sitting in a cabinet, and when I see it, I don't even get tempted to take a sip. The thought of drinking alcohol makes me nauseous. No thanks. I'll stick to 2 or 3 hits of weed occasionally.
That's the beauty of the legalization. You get to choose between lots of alternative weed products. In my country it's still illegal and I'm as drunk on my 12th year now. I would have stopped drinking if we had weed shops in my city.

My life story is really, really fuckin bad. I was a serious alcoholic starting in my teens when I taught myself how to make it in my closet. That was a dark, 15-year story and it's pretty surprising that I'm even alive. Now I'm off of it 18 months & today is my 34th birthday, stuff only started improving when I forced myself to quit. It's treated like a mystery why it's such a destructive problem with so many people, but the puzzle makes perfect sense when you watch explanations from experts how alcohol interacts with pleasure centers in our brains. And how your body actually tries to deal with it, wow. Your liver literally converts it into toxic poison in an attempt to flush it all out. You usually start out young & gullible, then you just start justifying it and then you're locked in.
Good On you Bill, I am from a family that are addicts mostly smoking and big drinking ( bottles of liquor straight no ice every single day no breaks in between ) so I went opposites of my family, they drank cheap beers and rot gut, smoked cigarettes I drink high quality stuff and cigars and my families triggers are crisis and tragedy, so I make it a point I wont smoke or drink when im going through it.
Hate to admit it but I’m sitting here drinking Wild Turkey listening to it. I have a humidor full of cigars and I keep forgetting to smoke. The drinking will get me though.
Tabacoo for me is addicting. Alcohol? Hell, I can go a long while without booze. I used to drink every damn night in my early twenties. I just loved it. But I wasn't ever addicted. I went a couple of months without it some years back and I was thinking to myself one night, "damn, I haven't had a drink in months.". I just don't ever really get that itch bad enough to where I absolutely have to have it. I feel sorry for those that do though because it can ruin lives.
I was going through a tuff patch in my life and started drinking heavy at night watching bill burr drunk is more funny than watching sober trueth thanks numb nuts for the memories. Cheers
It’s stops becoming fun, but you keep doing it( drinking) because you’ve literally brainwashed yourself that booze is your best outlet for a good time or to blow off steam
I quit drinking the day I realized "that stuff" wasn't "gonna kill me someday". I was already dead. I just hadn't found the hole to fall into yet. That was thirty years ago and I still haven't found my final resting place. I've mostly been too busy to look for it.
I quit nearly 3 years ago. Used to be the opposite, loved the nightclub, absolutely rammed with people and loud music and trouble and craziness. Then in my early 30s people just wanted to sit in bars talking, and the hangover wasn't worth it
I'm a bartender in a fucking night club! Everyone is drunk here, menager, waiters, bouncers, D.J., it's a part of the lifestyle. How the fuck should I stay sober. It's not that I am an alcoholic or something, but when I get loose a bit I eat junk food, skip workout, look like shit, you know... I really have to get together somehow.
@@masterkc My colleague and I quit drinking two months ago. Actually, quit getting drunk. I still have one shot of plum brandy once in a while. Thanks for asking.
Bill Burr said it though once you start drinking on a regular basis at home there's a problem. Whether you want to admit it or not. Booze needs to be kept recreational when you go out with your friends or when family Reunion, any kind of reunion really haha. But when you're drinking hard liquor at home every night it's an issue. I mean you can be a functioning alcoholic and a non-functioning but alcoholic is an alcoholic
Nah I drink alone. You're not going to shame me into surrounding myself with drunk loudmouths and call it recreation. I'd prefer to hang out with my friends when we're all sober. It's more real that way in my opinion and there's less drama and people are more aware. I also don't drink if I had a bad day or I'm under the weather, I know better than to use alcohol as an emotional crutch and regularly practice cold turkey for The Church and Sober September.
@@cfroi08 I hear you. But it's not a matter of "not knowing better" for many people. There are people who feel compelled to use it as an emotional crutch and do just that, due to different environmental/biological factors, but still know that what they are doing is killing them and that they should stop it. If every addict simply needed to "learn" and "know" better than to indulge in their addiction, addiction would not be a thing. We're talking about two distinct parts of the brain at odds with each other. Drinking at home alone does not necessarily mean you have a problem, sure. What I think this person should have said is that you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has an alcohol problem that doesn't regularly drink alone at home.
11 years sober now. What sobered me was a CAR HITTING ME GOING 50MPH WHILE CROSSING THE STREET! I've o.d. on alcohol b4 (0.525% I got the report) been to rehab(didnt work) been to jail hundreds of time, was homeless,AA NA didnt work have had seizures from trying to quit or running out, and hit my stepfather.(battery) After I got hot by the car,I still was drinking , my fiance was about to leave me, the night b4 she left me, it was 3am in the morning, I was depressed bcs she was leaving, I went to take me meds and drink it down with a natural ice. Next thing you know I couldnt stop projectile vomiting. I had to make a choice, idk if it was my body saying "NO!" after 10 years, my fiance leaving me, taking my meds and drinking at the same but I just couldn't stop. I woke up my fiance and told her to pour it all out. She did in minutes. I made a choice, I took my meds so I wasn't in pain(my broken leg was throbbing) and chose my fiance over booze. We've been together for 11 years. I started drinking at 13, stopped at 22. I DON'T MISS IT! I'll stick with kratom, and weed once in awhile!
Weed was always my vice, but good lord I relate to burr on the habit angle, it may be easy to put it down but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about it and missing it. But as soon as I get my fix it’s totally underwhelming, yet I still want to do it again
Absolutely. It's funny cus I was a happy drunk all my life but soon as I decided to quit and would relapse I became an angry ass hole. Guess moderation doesn't work for me
I largely cut out carbs, I cut out sugar, I cut out smoking cigarettes, I cut out smoking weed. Drinking is the thing i'm not giving up, but it's also never been any kind of issue to me. I think the thing is I relate to here, I don't bring it home. Drinking is an "out" activity. It doesn't come home.
Funny that he said that once you start drinking at home it’s a problem. In England yeah you’ll have your first ‘proper’ drink in a pub (usually around 16yrs old, even though the legal age is 18), but a lot of men drink at home, and often alone or just with the wife. It’s common to have several cans of beer at home after work, maybe 3-4 nights a week, then starting a little earlier at weekends (3pm maybe).
Abuse and addiction are different. When you choose alcohol over everything else in your life... Jail, driving drunk w your kids, blacking out, wife says quit, etc. If you can stop when you want before it gets out of hand and when you notice red flags
Using certain drugs is like taking out a payday loan on feeling great in the future. The interest rate is so high that you can never pay it back without giving up something else of value.
Thanks man I appreciate that I needed some type of reference to being sober as well as being a neighborhood and that fit my joke or my set very well. I'm going to perform in Burbank here pretty soon. No it's not a comedy club but it's going to be a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting yes irony but at the end of the day I'm trying to do what they did for me back when I was young back when I was on drugs heavily laughter help and I hope it will help somebody else
I'm still drunk piece of s*** but at the end of the day I can understand the difference between the reality of being myself right now and being the person I was back then which is quite different. Save me so who's to say it would would not save somebody else
The only thing that made me cut down on my drinking was acute liver inflammation, but when I'd binge drink, I'd go hard, and I'd go often. Like, half the week I was drunk, easily drinking 1+ liters of bourbon in a 24-hour window, then doing it again and again, usually three days straight, that couldn't have been Bill Burr. As nasty as it was, getting in trouble with police, regretting shit I said, waking up in my own piss, opening up my fridge to a pile of junk food I don't remember buying, and so on, I didn't get into fights BUT the _only_ thing that stopped that self-destructive drinking was my liver literally HURTING after one of my binges. I didn't go to the doctor, because I knew what it was. It just went away after a few weeks of remaining sober, and I took up an NAC supplement. I dunno, it's hard. I mean, I still drink, but I don't go wild like before. The crazy thing is, I never was a boozer as a young adult, just in my mid-20's I got into it when life began to suck, and you know, marijuana isn't legal where I live. It's a dangerous, horrible drug, but it's legal, so. 🙄
I related very heavily to parts of this. I never have really woken up to my liver hurting but like there'd be a day after where i could just "feel" my liver there if you know what I mean.
Hi Bill! I hope you're well. Same. I was raised around drugs and alcohol. But I was also raised to where You use it until you don't want to do it anymore, and then you stop doing it. Something that always annoyed the s*it out of me concerning AA. Is how you have to affirm constantly how "you will always be an addict" even when you're not currently an addict. That's a bunch of BS. Not all people can stop, so I'm lucky that way. Otherwise that would have been rock bottom. However most days, these days... With S*it being what it is in my situation if I could get my hands on something, or if I trusted another human being enough to get something for me (Which I don't) I can't say I wouldn't use. It's just not convenient to get. so I don't. That still doesn't make me an "addict" because when I wanted to stop, or needed to stop. I knew enough to stop, and I did. Same with smoking, drinking and drugs. We were raised like that in our generation. Our generation was like: "Suck it the Fug up cupcake." lol
I agree about AA. I went to one once as a goof just to appease my dad. Older crowd and many of them have been sober for decades. I was sitting there thinking why do they need to come here and listen to other peoples sob stories?
I'm glad I kinda hate being drunk. I get sick from it really easily and get so dizzy so I can't enjoy it. So I just will have a single drink. The worst I got was drinking one beer a day, but it was making my burps smell so bad like a nasty fart. My wife pointed it out, so I switched to 2-3 beers a week, and now I don't have the stinky burps. It also helps that I workout 3 days a week and I don't want to drink on those days.
Yes you can drink yourself into dependency, alcoholism is not a scientific or evidence based condition. Alcoholism is a self diagnoses one makes depending on their personal qualifications. It's all about the brain chemicals. I can say for myself as one who gave up the extracurricular brain chemicals, my anxiety decreased by 80%, but it is hard work and there are times as Burr says you really miss it. BUT I don't miss the morning after horror show that my life was becoming in the last year of my 'partying'. This is coming from a 54 year old somebody (who was once a Marine) and used up his last fun day on 02/14/17.
I have been sober for the past few years now and if I have a pint of beer by the time I have finished it I already have a hangover head ache., I do miss Coke
*7:00** once you **_know_** is isnt going to make you happy.* i think that is the gift. but ive never drank, smoked, weed or gambled...so i cant be sure. but i know it is bc i have that awareness, & belief. & thr are things you miss in sobriety. _JC
You have to want it. I’m 27 about to be 28 on October 9th and gave up alcohol April 27th of this year. It’s a constant battle, you have your days where you don’t even think about it and then you have your days where you could really go for 18 PBRs. It is very nice to just stop drinking, the challenge is committing to it. The only reason I stopped was because I crashed my car drinking and driving, maybe you’re a lot smarter than I am when on the sauce but it scared me and put me in a really really dark place. Luckily nobody was hurt, but I don’t wish anyone to experience what I experienced. I hope this rabble makes sense but if you want it, you can have it.

Wtf are you talking about
@@bbuggediffy If you have to ask, you're not ready to hear the answer.
I quit nearly 3 years ago. Used to be the opposite, loved the nightclub, absolutely rammed with people and loud music and trouble and craziness. Then in my early 30s people just wanted to sit in bars talking, and the hangover wasn't worth it
I'm a bartender in a fucking night club! Everyone is drunk here, menager, waiters, bouncers, D.J., it's a part of the lifestyle. How the fuck should I stay sober. It's not that I am an alcoholic or something, but when I get loose a bit I eat junk food, skip workout, look like shit, you know... I really have to get together somehow.
How's it going so far? Did you find your answer?
@@masterkc My colleague and I quit drinking two months ago. Actually, quit getting drunk. I still have one shot of plum brandy once in a while. Thanks for asking.
Change careers
Bill Burr said it though once you start drinking on a regular basis at home there's a problem. Whether you want to admit it or not. Booze needs to be kept recreational when you go out with your friends or when family Reunion, any kind of reunion really haha. But when you're drinking hard liquor at home every night it's an issue. I mean you can be a functioning alcoholic and a non-functioning but alcoholic is an alcoholic
Nah I drink alone. You're not going to shame me into surrounding myself with drunk loudmouths and call it recreation. I'd prefer to hang out with my friends when we're all sober. It's more real that way in my opinion and there's less drama and people are more aware.
I also don't drink if I had a bad day or I'm under the weather, I know better than to use alcohol as an emotional crutch and regularly practice cold turkey for The Church and Sober September.
@Free Smoke Free Smoke Great point and well said
@@cfroi08 I hear you. But it's not a matter of "not knowing better" for many people. There are people who feel compelled to use it as an emotional crutch and do just that, due to different environmental/biological factors, but still know that what they are doing is killing them and that they should stop it. If every addict simply needed to "learn" and "know" better than to indulge in their addiction, addiction would not be a thing. We're talking about two distinct parts of the brain at odds with each other.
Drinking at home alone does not necessarily mean you have a problem, sure. What I think this person should have said is that you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has an alcohol problem that doesn't regularly drink alone at home.
I've never understood why people put video game footage on the background of videos that have nothing to do with video games 🤔
I know, it actually annoys the shit out of me.
Studies have shown that people focus on the audio more when they are watching video game footage as they listen
Let’s go love these videos
11 years sober now. What sobered me was a CAR HITTING ME GOING 50MPH WHILE CROSSING THE STREET! I've o.d. on alcohol b4 (0.525% I got the report) been to rehab(didnt work) been to jail hundreds of time, was homeless,AA NA didnt work have had seizures from trying to quit or running out, and hit my stepfather.(battery)
After I got hot by the car,I still was drinking , my fiance was about to leave me, the night b4 she left me, it was 3am in the morning, I was depressed bcs she was leaving, I went to take me meds and drink it down with a natural ice. Next thing you know I couldnt stop projectile vomiting. I had to make a choice, idk if it was my body saying "NO!" after 10 years, my fiance leaving me, taking my meds and drinking at the same but I just couldn't stop.
I woke up my fiance and told her to pour it all out. She did in minutes.
I made a choice, I took my meds so I wasn't in pain(my broken leg was throbbing) and chose my fiance over booze.
We've been together for 11 years. I started drinking at 13, stopped at 22.
I DON'T MISS IT! I'll stick with kratom, and weed once in awhile!
Weed was always my vice, but good lord I relate to burr on the habit angle, it may be easy to put it down but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about it and missing it. But as soon as I get my fix it’s totally underwhelming, yet I still want to do it again
I fucking love bill burr man I relate to this guy so much 😂 glad he found his peace and his success LEGEND always give me a good laugh
Alcohol inflates the ego that's why I don't drink that often. There is more good stuff out there.
Absolutely. It's funny cus I was a happy drunk all my life but soon as I decided to quit and would relapse I became an angry ass hole. Guess moderation doesn't work for me
I don't know who Andrew is. This sounds like Bill Burr on stage talking to normal Bill Burr.
This is from Andrews podcast WHISKEY GINGER. He also have a podcast with Bobby Lee called BAD FRIENDS.
I thought the same thing!
@@larrybressler295 ha!
Andrew is also a ginger
I largely cut out carbs, I cut out sugar, I cut out smoking cigarettes, I cut out smoking weed. Drinking is the thing i'm not giving up, but it's also never been any kind of issue to me. I think the thing is I relate to here, I don't bring it home. Drinking is an "out" activity. It doesn't come home.
Funny that he said that once you start drinking at home it’s a problem.
In England yeah you’ll have your first ‘proper’ drink in a pub (usually around 16yrs old, even though the legal age is 18), but a lot of men drink at home, and often alone or just with the wife. It’s common to have several cans of beer at home after work, maybe 3-4 nights a week, then starting a little earlier at weekends (3pm maybe).
My strongest addiction is sugar and starch, but I can still relate so hard to all of what he's saying here.
I think a lot of people don’t get a lot of people have addictions it’s just what is it.
I know the starch addiction all too well. Been abusing raw potatoes for 7 years now and I just can't stop.
Abuse and addiction are different. When you choose alcohol over everything else in your life... Jail, driving drunk w your kids, blacking out, wife says quit, etc.
If you can stop when you want before it gets out of hand and when you notice red flags
Using certain drugs is like taking out a payday loan on feeling great in the future. The interest rate is so high that you can never pay it back without giving up something else of value.
Thanks man I appreciate that I needed some type of reference to being sober as well as being a neighborhood and that fit my joke or my set very well. I'm going to perform in Burbank here pretty soon. No it's not a comedy club but it's going to be a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting yes irony but at the end of the day I'm trying to do what they did for me back when I was young back when I was on drugs heavily laughter help and I hope it will help somebody else
I'm still drunk piece of s*** but at the end of the day I can understand the difference between the reality of being myself right now and being the person I was back then which is quite different. Save me so who's to say it would would not save somebody else
I only drink when its raining or not raining
If you "just get into shit" you have an addictive mindset period
The only thing that made me cut down on my drinking was acute liver inflammation, but when I'd binge drink, I'd go hard, and I'd go often. Like, half the week I was drunk, easily drinking 1+ liters of bourbon in a 24-hour window, then doing it again and again, usually three days straight, that couldn't have been Bill Burr. As nasty as it was, getting in trouble with police, regretting shit I said, waking up in my own piss, opening up my fridge to a pile of junk food I don't remember buying, and so on, I didn't get into fights BUT the _only_ thing that stopped that self-destructive drinking was my liver literally HURTING after one of my binges. I didn't go to the doctor, because I knew what it was. It just went away after a few weeks of remaining sober, and I took up an NAC supplement. I dunno, it's hard. I mean, I still drink, but I don't go wild like before. The crazy thing is, I never was a boozer as a young adult, just in my mid-20's I got into it when life began to suck, and you know, marijuana isn't legal where I live. It's a dangerous, horrible drug, but it's legal, so. 🙄
I related very heavily to parts of this. I never have really woken up to my liver hurting but like there'd be a day after where i could just "feel" my liver there if you know what I mean.
Good job man 😊
Hi Bill! I hope you're well. Same. I was raised around drugs and alcohol. But I was also raised to where You use it until you don't want to do it anymore, and then you stop doing it. Something that always annoyed the s*it out of me concerning AA. Is how you have to affirm constantly how "you will always be an addict" even when you're not currently an addict. That's a bunch of BS. Not all people can stop, so I'm lucky that way. Otherwise that would have been rock bottom. However most days, these days... With S*it being what it is in my situation if I could get my hands on something, or if I trusted another human being enough to get something for me (Which I don't) I can't say I wouldn't use. It's just not convenient to get. so I don't. That still doesn't make me an "addict" because when I wanted to stop, or needed to stop. I knew enough to stop, and I did. Same with smoking, drinking and drugs. We were raised like that in our generation. Our generation was like: "Suck it the Fug up cupcake." lol
I agree about AA. I went to one once as a goof just to appease my dad. Older crowd and many of them have been sober for decades. I was sitting there thinking why do they need to come here and listen to other peoples sob stories?
Problem with that mentality is all the damage you do to your body/mind before you decide "you've had enough".
Bring Highrise, and a lot of the old maps not used, back to the franchise!
Some weed and no booze or drugs is what we are calling California Sober
the fuck is weed then?
I'm glad I kinda hate being drunk. I get sick from it really easily and get so dizzy so I can't enjoy it. So I just will have a single drink. The worst I got was drinking one beer a day, but it was making my burps smell so bad like a nasty fart. My wife pointed it out, so I switched to 2-3 beers a week, and now I don't have the stinky burps. It also helps that I workout 3 days a week and I don't want to drink on those days.
Bourbon. YES.
Alcohol is a slippery slope...glad Billy Boy realized it before he turned into Bert.
🤣🤣 gameplay is killing me
knife addicted bafoon
Yes you can drink yourself into dependency, alcoholism is not a scientific or evidence based condition. Alcoholism is a self diagnoses one makes depending on their personal qualifications. It's all about the brain chemicals. I can say for myself as one who gave up the extracurricular brain chemicals, my anxiety decreased by 80%, but it is hard work and there are times as Burr says you really miss it. BUT I don't miss the morning after horror show that my life was becoming in the last year of my 'partying'.
This is coming from a 54 year old somebody (who was once a Marine) and used up his last fun day on 02/14/17.
Happy for you! Wishing you peace friend ✌️
Burr smoking dubbies? Eating edibles? THIS IS MY DREAM
I think he had a story going to see Black Panther high
I just put the bottle down last week. I still like to drink, but i know its not worth it.
I have been sober for the past few years now and if I have a pint of beer by the time I have finished it I already have a hangover head ache., I do miss Coke
Just was able to start looking at the footage playing with the audio... what the hell is going on?
*7:00** once you **_know_** is isnt going to make you happy.* i think that is the gift. but ive never drank, smoked, weed or gambled...so i cant be sure. but i know it is bc i have that awareness, & belief. & thr are things you miss in sobriety. _JC
Flowers are plants 🪴 ❤
When I learned how important sleep was, it was easier to skip a night of drinking.
Providing mobile games as gameplay for a video should be made illegal
I'd rather look at a still image of Bill, or even bills dog than random fps game play
Must be nice to just stop drinking lol
You have to want it. I’m 27 about to be 28 on October 9th and gave up alcohol April 27th of this year. It’s a constant battle, you have your days where you don’t even think about it and then you have your days where you could really go for 18 PBRs. It is very nice to just stop drinking, the challenge is committing to it. The only reason I stopped was because I crashed my car drinking and driving, maybe you’re a lot smarter than I am when on the sauce but it scared me and put me in a really really dark place. Luckily nobody was hurt, but I don’t wish anyone to experience what I experienced. I hope this rabble makes sense but if you want it, you can have it.
So true. It's never just one I always need 18
@@markl5998 if I'm having one I'm having a dozen. I can't even keep beer past what I want to drink because I'm like a dog I can't stop once I start. Getting too old for it
I can go days without beer, but when I drink just 1 beer, it's lights out for weeks
Who the hell is playing the game?
This sounds like Bill Burr talking to Bill Burr
A bad friend is asking questions if anyone is asking
This player got overconfident with the knife
Why is there video of a videogame?
People still play this game? This was my shit
"don't let the devil into your house"
One drink is too many and a hundred is not enough.
Thanks i quit drinking today.
That’s like saying I only smoke meth on Tuesday’s because I’m bored
Is COD mobile name is OleFreckles
Alchohol is unacceptable. But weed. I can't man. I can't stop smoking weed
I’m 29 and drink more than I should I have a. Daughter and it needs to stop I was watching bad Santa and laughing at the fact that the dude was a wreck but he’s not so different from me
I love the conversation. But, I hate the video.
Already did
joe rogan' cigars? you meant blunts
Tell me that is the OLD Modern Warfare ll.
Nah that's blackops 1 or 2 or mw3. They all suck after MW2 IMO
Good on him, but I think he's denying that he had an addiction, or is unaware

Show business is a gateway drug….
this gameplay in the background is ridiculous :))) something Bill would never. do :)
Shut up boomer
Horrible bot combat.
call of duty mobile with gamepad
I’m glad my wife drinks a few beers with me and isn’t boring. Some people are responsible with their habits. Some are not.
Wtf they both sound like bill
This gameplay is painful to watch

Lol not at all.
wtf is this gameplay lmao
How do people get addicted to cigars? You don’t inhale it so what’s the obsession?
You can get addicted to anything. Inhaling has nothing to do with it.
@@EmilWestrum yeah true. Even food is an addiction.
I think its an oral fixation tbh. The act of doing it, nothing to do with the nicotine.
@@walterwhite3143 exactly , people kill themselves with food a lot more than heroin.
The obsession is the drug induced high that is caused by smoking the cigar. Nicotine is absorbed orally (snuff, gum, etc.)
