Great channel! Sober October !

Love the channel, the influence of Christopher Hitchens runs deep

Brilliant doc. Knew about some of the other stuff but not the alcohol experiments 😮

Made 5 months today, never thought id get this far, and i hope to keep it up. Thank you so much for this vid

I’ve used the term “Functional Alcoholic” because there is a big difference from keeping your life in order vs. blowing everything up. It’s honestly not an arrogance, but more like realizing that you can keep the plates spinning for now.

The more I watch your channel, the more I notice how similar our stories are! Especially the whole social chameleon thing and kind of fitting in a little bit with everyone in high school. I've struggled with anxiety/self confidence issues for as long as I can remember, things have gotten better with time, and they are certainly better now that I'm sober, but I think it will be a lifelong struggle for me either way! I'm grateful that I found your channel man, awesome stuff! Keep posting! ❤

I'm thinking the doctor and the Arab had a little deal worked out. Doctor gives him access to the ward, he gets a cut from the sale of stolen goods. I think gabapentin should be prescribed for patients coming out of DT. It helps to disrupt the amygdala from triggering the fight or flight response. It's used primarily for neuropathic pain, but it's effective in treating anxiety and stress disorders.

We've got a real Howard Hughes over here. Please, continue the pursuit of perfection with no attachment. Great Work. Have you considered that you might have hallucinated the guy stitching his stabwound with his bootlaces? In the west, inmates aren't allowed anything they can use to choke themselves or anyone else with. That includes laces, belts, drawstrings, etc. I've never been locked up in central Asia, so idk. Wild story

Amazing Video! Great work 👍

I was an alcoholic. I managed to broaden my horizons and become a general drug addict. Why specify when there are other substances, better substances that can kill me immediately in microgram doses?... incidentally, AA is a great thing for personal growth and establishing a social foundation in recovery, if you use it correctly.

I’m not an alcoholic or have had any history of alcoholism or alcohol use disorder, but your channel really pulls me in. Your content is unmatched. I will continue to watch and follow.

Did something weird happened when we jumped from WWII to "Then the Vietnam War began?" just wondering!

Dealing with a family member who just can't understand that you don't need to drink every single day to be an alcoholic...I'm a recovering addict and I heard in a recovery meeting decades ago someone say we may have arrived in different ships but we all end up in the same boat and it's very very true

All the military and VA are, a big experiment

Thank you BC!!!

I hit today rock bottom My body is tired of alcohol It’s not a hangover anymore it’s more horrible feeling 😢

All the best with the channel. I'm a few months in and with you on falling to sleep to MST3K. Keep up the good work and the great videos. All the best.

This sums it up so well.

I really enjoyed this documentary.

As one of the addiction specialist I was taught by said "There is no such thing as a functional substance user. These people are just yet to experience the breakdown of their psychosocial fabric that keeps them "functional". They eventually will, all of them do if they continue."

This is a terrifying new type of alcoholism that I didn’t know existed. Thank you for sharing your story, and keep fighting. Hopefully one day you’ll manage to break this vicious cycle ❤

I feel like I am dying after drinking Mixing beer with wine I feel really strange wtf is happening with me 😮

I for one love when you say Comrades ✋️it always makes me smile. I also giggled when you asked yourself "Am I a influencer?" It made think of the Kadashians.Great Q & A session also. 😉 p.s you are a influencer, as some one who struggles with addiction your channel really helps - so again thank you.

Just don't do a cold withdrawal from alcohol !!! Just don't. I had 3 DT's. My last 2 withdrawals I did with Oxi. No more Orks with flaming axes in front of my door.

Hey mate don’t know if you’ll read this but I found your videos and it’s actually so refreshing to hear an honest and raw outlook on alcoholism, I can relate a lot to your videos and it’s helped me stay sober for 50 ish days now, anyways just wanted to say I’ve found your videos very helpful and you’re doing an amazing job 🙏

Never had opiate withdrawal or alcohol withdrawal either. Delirium tremors can happen weeks after being off booze! You can make it thru the NEED but die from a pink elephant!?! Yes. I've come off being on speed for a week and slept away a week for it. Had the very Stupid from pot but... Shit!

I disagree you giving people this advice when it appears to me clearly you haven't stopped! Go to a hospital end up in a mental institution psych ward then suicidal depressed because you lost everything you had while you was in that hospital ward! How about saying taper if it works for you! No offense boo!❤

great great video.... (charles manson wasnt a murderer though)

Great job! I enjoyed this. Thank you.

You're very good at telling your story biking. Very interesting. Thank you.

Is the footage you used stock footage or actual footage of the experiment?

Aside from the great production, this was very concise and well written. Thanks for the work you do

Terrific video mate. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this type of content if thats whats in store. Although if its just you and the mic like usual im there for it too

Do u know how insane you would be after 75 days of LSD then when u sleep shock u

Excellent

Wow! I didn’t know that but it’s not surprising one little bit!! Good grief!

Sometimes i get like im laying in a tomb😊 staring at fascinating panel of light but i feel safe n comforted

Bravo !!! Excellent Docu!!! Evokes memories of The Manchurian Candidate , which was withheld from viewers for years due to JFK assn. Do they even teach kids about MKULTRA?? Not in my day, not even Ishi? Very informative and well done 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟!!

Fascnati ng glad i stayed for the whole experience ,i understand that fear

I'm getting a headache just listening about alcohol

I was 12 years off alcohol and it took me only 3 nights of drinking 2.5% abv cider to make myself warm (boiler broke) to start drinking almost everyday for almost a year now😢. If you are so lucky, to be an addict in sobriety, NEVER touch that shit

I find it very interesting that the use of the rorschach tests were done to suggest "unsavoury characteristics " therefore diminishing the victim's characters. Clearly they knew what they were doing was very wrong but almost tried to furnish an excuse or lessen the outrage when they were caught.

this narrator sounds exactly like the voice of the Post Cards clips from the MTV show Liquid Television in the early 1990s.lol only a very very few will know what I'm talking about.lol😂

Incredible documentary about a despicable and horrific slice of US history. I wonder why they decided to choose heroin addicts and not chronic alcoholics for this experiment?

Super insightful video. I've had alcoholism in my family, and while i have a pretty benign relationship to the sauce, i have my own struggles and addictions. A lot of the self reasoning you talk about reminds me of myself. You also struck a chord at the end saying that other people just want to see that you are okay and well. Had an old friend give us all numerous (and understandable) reasons for why he drinks. I can greatly empathize when someone dealing with a bunch of shit, but at the end of the explanation, i didn't feel anymore sorry for him than i would have normally because it was the drinking that was doing the most damage out of all of the things he talked about. We just wanted to see him get better. Anyway, glad youtube randomly showed me your channel. Thanks for sharing this unimaginably vulnerable tidbit. Be well out there everyone! There's great things that life has to offer

Holy Shit Dude!!

Benzos are are a life saver for alcohol withdrawl...used those to withdraw 15 years ago.

i remember watching that movie. It struck me out of nowhere. It was 1997 or 1998. It ran on german arte TV channel. I was 17 and i was so traumatized for month and month. Years even. even now. I remember zapping on that channel and it was at the beginning were they discovered the heap of bodies behind the hut. What the germans did to the girl was just to much for my young soul. It is truly the only war movie that leaves one mad at war. Most movies about war show how the guns are shooting and the explosions and the hero soldier. crap i say. This one really shows what is happening to the people on the recieving end of the violence. I recommended the movie often to people when they where talking about war. but i dont think anyone watched it. neither did i ever again. It is so powerful.

Love this content!!! great video as always.

Alcohol is waste product of a fungus (yeast). Yeast eats sugar and shits booze. What a weird organism and its relationship with humans.
