I started drinking super young.

Just drinking, smoking weed, whatever.

Specifically drinking, though.

I socialized.

I pretty much grew up socializing drunk.

I was always drunk if I socialized.

Then the alcohol just started to not agree with me.

I got sick of being hungover.

So then I had to learn, which I'm still learning how to do it now.

I'm 40.

But I had to learn how to socialize sober.

And I was just like, damn, I wish I fucking learned how to do this when I was younger.

Because I'm still bad at it.

one glass of whiskey you know i think drinking is just like a good like mix in the pot kind of thing yeah okay so you're not like a hardcore drinker i well with stand-up i remember i used to be but yeah well stand-up i remember being like dude i have to have two drinks before i perform and then i remember being like well fuck i kind of at the time i would do stand-up like every night i'm like i don't feel like drinking every night yeah i had like i was able to and this is you know

this is the stuff I do kind of like where it's like, you know, what exactly, why do I have to do that?

And it's like, with time, you just, you can get over that stuff.

That's the one.

But to me, it's like, I don't want to come off as like preachy.

Like if that's what people do, that's what people do.

But I remember being like, cause I was like impossible.
