@@pb6270 In that case, what's your definition of polite? Is saying hi to a stranger not polite? The stranger has the option not to say hi back, just like they have the option to not talk to Andrew. And what I meant by polite is how he talks to them in a nonjudgmental way.
8:18 Those are some words of wisdom, Andrew. I feel the exact same way. Although I'm very opposed to the idea of drinking alcohol, I try not to judge others for their consumption, even though I wish everyone would drink responsibly if they so choose to drink.
Commenting for the algorithm Edit: congrats on the 30 days man. I am an alcoholic myself, and I don’t think there’s a lot of happiness that comes from alcohol. That being said, I see some people who can drink responsibly, and with moderation I don’t think it’s harmful at all. The hard truth that I had to face is I’m not capable of controlling my drinking once I start. So hats off to the people who can enjoy, I will never be one of them. Good luck Andrew, I know it’s cheesy but you can do this, one day at a time.
It is absolutely bizarre how, like you say, alcohol is ingrained in our culture. I am from the UK and now living in Scandinavia and it's all the same. Everything revolves around it. 90% of social invites are about drinking. I want to stop but it feels like it will make my life harder to not join in and that thought alone baffles me. Its funny how too if you're not an alcoholic then you can't have an issue, when in reality I think most people who are drinking regularly have somewhat of an issue. Tom Hollands recent comments on it I think ring very true.
Love this. Surprised at how many people were cognisant of the negative side of alcohol. If you've tried to quit drinking loads of times and can't, and I'm not saying this to judge, just from the perspective of someone who is a recovering addict, it's a sign that the drink has control over you and that you might need some extra support like with a 12 step fellowship I'm a bit biased but Narcotics Anonymous changed my life so significantly and made it so much better I've always gotta sing it's praises.
It’s good to question why we do the things we do. If you break it down, it’s really hard to justify or rationalize consuming alcohol. Or so, that’s what I found personally. Congrats on your 30ish odd days, Andrew.
When I was young, and including nowadays, I never drank alcohol when having a night out. I always chose soft drinks instead and then water. I can relate to the girl halfway through the video about enjoying being the real me instead of the drunk version of me
I quit it about a year ago. This past weekend was the first time I've really been out in a situation where all the friends were drinking (casino) and I was just chilling sober. It wasn't bad at all, didn't really feel like I needed it to have a good time, also not having to worry about chugging 4 bottles of water and peeing 10 times through the night was amazing. Didn't have to worry about waking up hungover or anything either. It was pretty awesome
You've been my favorite youtube personality since discovering you in 2018. Imo the more your opinion is involved, the better the video. Keep up the great content!
I come from a long line of alcoholics, and been around it first hand. Never had the urge to ever want to drink, even though my friends all did. I will drink on occasion in a social setting a few times a year. Maybe once or twice every other month or so. It’s also nice having a very low alcohol tolerance. I only need one or two seltzers or two beers and I’m good for almost the whole night.
As a European I'm really shocked at the gloryfying of drinking amongst young people and how some of them mentioned how it's necessary for them to drink in order to be confident and feel good in themselves, I found it a bit scary. This being said, I understand this was recorded on a big festivity so I guess they're were more hyped that usual.
I managed to go like 18 months without alcohol around 2019/2020... so needless to say, I am against drinking. I encourage everyone to stop and to be assertive and to know your limits. Stay safe friends wherever you are... I hope you make it :)
I was just partying once a week in my teens and twenty's, that turned into two times. And suddenly i found myself with a bottle in the morning. Few DT's and hospital trips later im on my way to 3 years sober. Feeling better than ever.
I have a hard time not having 2-3 shots at night when my wife and kids are asleep. I never get drunk, but i love that buzz before bed. Not sure if its a problem, but i could see it leading to one.
Partying is great if you're young but once you've partied a lot you realize they're not that great, alcohol is basically an anti depressant for some people or a way to make things more fun than they are, but once you get older and your personality develops you realize you're better off without it.
@@Tangentbordsblues You mean that "partying" is more chemical drugs and Shit.. Or that you can have a blast by Bring sober. Its an honest question because in my mindeset (what i learned from my surounding and uprising) is that "doing Party" means to bei fucked Up or at least intoxicated..
I agree, the line between drinking to kill a hangover and drinking to cure withdrawals becomes blurred over time. Alcoholism is a gradual consuming addiction.
Drinking is bad for you. I’ve been a bartender for 7 years. It’s fine if you’re going out in a group or having a get together but realistically if everyone is focused on their work and other obligations this shouldn’t really happen that often. Like maybe every few months. The occasional drink at home is fine as well. It’s when you drink out of boredom or depression and it turns into a regular thing that it’s an issue. Certainly if you’re going out every night or even 3 times a week. Maybe not at first, especially when you’re young, that’s pretty normal, but I’d watch for how long it goes on for.
@@chadwellington2524 Words of an alcoholic. Yeah, we gonna die anyway, so you don't mind sending me a ps5 as a gift? Or some other present. Or suddenly you change your mind?
As of this moment I still drink I do consider myself a weekend drinker. Will I stop? IDK maybe I'll grow out of it but I know for I'm gonna enjoy it great video andrew
I luckily do not have a problem with alcohol. I have maybe 1-2 beers (or equivalent) every couple of weeks. In moderation, most things are okay. The problem is that some things are harder to moderate for certain people. For example, when I was 19 or so I would vape and could keep myself away from the thing for more than a few hours. So, sadly, that is not something that I can enjoy in moderation. For some people, alcohol is the same way.
I'm 24, I've been so drunk I couldn't talk before, I've been to the bars and got plenty wasted plenty of times, but frankly I enjoy just a couple beers every once in awhile, like once a month but I do smoke all the time, but I'm cutting down on that too
The girl in the tiara is hilarious! I'm not gonna lie, I really love alcohol. I'm 37 now and basically didn't drink at all until I was 30. Rye whiskey is great. Love Old Fashioned's and gin and tonics. I'm an extreme introvert and alcohol has given me a new lens through which to view reality. Watching a good movie with alcohol can be incredible. I notice things I never noticed before because my chattering forebrain shuts the fuck up, and I can be immersed. Same thing when I'm with a friend or a lover (especially if they are also drunk). You enter into another plane. For me it's helped me deal with suppressed emotions and integrate them more fully. I do think I got a little carried away with alcohol last year and I respect my limits now, and I also make it a point to take self-care seriously. I've been going to the gym pretty consistently since May. You just can't let it control you and tailspin your life. Also if I drink too much, the physical effects the next day are unpleasant. I mitigate the stomach issues with antacids, but the malaise and brain fog sucks, so that naturally made me cut back a bit. Still, I don't think alcohol should be demonized. If you can limit how much you consume and under what circumstances you consume it, it can offer a lot of therapeutic emotional benefits IMO. I do respect anyone who has decided it's not for them and quit, though.
@@chadwellington2524 It's a fun drug. People just get carried away with it and also blame it because of lack of their own discipline and responsibility.
Thanks, Andrew! I really liked this. Alcohol is definitely America's drug and I like your thought on what the public response would be if it was created/discovered today.
They started a Long discussion about Proletariats in the US and how to build as mich union Power to overthrow the government and start the socialist Revolution
Your liver needs a five day break after last drinking in order to prevent cirrhosis. I learnt that from an alcoholism documentary (BBC Panorama). Too late for me, but I'll start now and give up processed carbs sooon.
You eventually get over being drunk and "partying". Its not fun after awhile. I could never get drunk now but unfortunately I still do have a few drinks each night... I love it but I also hate it. Shit sucks, we know its bad for us but we do it anyway cos it feels good
Last time drank vodka in 2019, nowadays i drink a few times in the year, like a beer or mohito drink, one or two, and im drunk twice a year, but im still fucked on the head so i vape weed everyday
Alcohol is terrible for you and your body. But if managed correctly you can enjoy it without affecting your life. If it wasn't so social in our society I wouldn't drink half as much as I do( drunk once a month)

This was again just on alcohol not partying
I don't look down on anyone who drinks responsibly, but I can't help but hate alcohol. I don't feel the destruction it causes is worth the good.
