The whole part about talking yourself into a relapse way in advance is so real. The seed gets planted and watered and all of the sudden you’re wasted again.
My wife and I call it "lock-picking". The addiction part of the brain somehow gets hold of the intelligence and goes “your job is to figure this puzzle out: why is drinking a good idea?” and the intelligence does “oh cool I like a puzzle” and gets to work on it night and day until it comes up with something satisfying. This is why moderation doesn’t work for a lot of people and why stone-cold sobriety “I don’t drink anymore” is the best medicine for a lot of people. You have to convince your brain that there is no lock to pick, it’s just gone.
@@inkonpaperheroLOVE this. Thank you brother. Incredibly wise.
I think, to be additive for some, the intelligence part is also fundamentally misaligned. Do you agree?
@@careerintransit imo intelligence is just raw computing power. I think it can be set on the right or wrong track (why very intelligent people believe very stupid things some times, and why you can’t cure addiction through raw intelligence) but I don’t know if that’s fundamental or core to the person, or unfixable. I think intelligence is like a computer running a task. And sometimes it gets stuck running tasks and other times you can set it on new tasks.
@@inkonpaperhero this was so good, thanks!
@@inkonpaperhero that's a great way to describe it. I guess the trick is to be proactive the minute you start having sneaky thoughts
When he said he wanted his first day of sobriety to be new years (so he could get smashed just one more time), I felt it in my bones.
I’ve been there brother. I laughed out loud it was such a funny and relatable line
yeah neal brennan is kind of uninteresting but cool guest
Been around alcoholics all my life, how many times I've heard "I'm quitting monday"
Never happens.
Literally that’s me right now. I said the same thing last year but of course didn’t last long. Been 45 days sober now though
@@mitchellanderson3068go to AA
"Oh, I'm triggered by everything."
I love this man.
I am like this too, people are often confused by me because I can shut off and be a ghost in certain situations that I don't even notice right away and other times I can talk to anyone and be the head of the party. This is probably a result from my alcoholism or why I was an alcoholic. To this day I still don't fully comprehend why but there are times I just really don't want to be in social situations and it has nothing with parties or a bar, it could be friends at a concert or dinner. I know that I have way more work to do on myself but I have to admit I am a little lost on that one lol
I am 4 years sober as of jan 19th. I have been feeling out of control and been feeling depressed the past 3 months. And Literally today I started to plant the seed by telling myself “I could probably drink again and control it this time”. But what made me shut down that thought process was thinking about how sick i would feel in the mornings. That always brings me back to reality that I never want to drink again.
4 years sober is a an awesome achievement!! Keep it up.
Stay strong ! You are doing great !
It's only going to make you feel worse and you are going to want it more after that first drink...there's lots of us fighting the same battle!
Drinking is just a symptom of our problems not the problem itself. My problem is no matter where I go, there I am.
I havent drank in 6 or 7yrs.was an everyday drunk.the thought of a FEW drinks came up.i read a former alcoholic decided to have 2 beers.got the glow going.cut himself off.but he was miserable as fuck for 3 months wanting more and more.like it was the 1st day he quit.
Been sober for 6 months and yesterday out of nowhere I heard the call for a drink. It sideswiped me. Thought I would never again have to deal with the thirst for alcohol. I didn't answer the call but was irritable ever since. During my 63 years of living, I drank for 53 of them before deciding to save myself from self destructing. To deal with the irritability of not giving in, I sit on the recliner with my dog, think about the great wife and kids and grandchild and how grateful I am for them. So glad I don't answer Booze's loud call. The addiction is gripping but I will keep heading to the recliner.
My father used to give me a beer every time I would get up and get him one.@easttowest7839
Keep coming back. The first year is fucking hard.
Gratitude undoes the worst of it. It’s a magic pill. It’s really impressive that you knew that intuitively.
@easttowest7839 Dumb father gave me sips of his beer each time I would get him a can.
❤
Once I got sober, I lost every single "friend" I had. It was tough at first but I'm better off.
It happens to all of us, I've lost numerous friends, damn near all of them to be honest
@brysonjf4756 yep almost 6 years ago and I could care less. Those people are still stuck in the same shitty bar, having the same stupid conversations
Damn if they can’t still be friends without alcohol that’s pathetic
@@creamycrypto5782 well it's because they weren't real friends to begin with. Plus addicts love other addicts. Sober people make them feel bad about themselves.
Im right there with you sober buddy . It’s ok though…i don’t want to be friends anymore either 😊
Coming up on 2 years sober in June myself. Best of luck David. You deserve a sober, happier life.
Right behind you, I'll be dry for 2 years in August. Cheering for you, friend.
Congratulations, guys. You both deserve happiness and good fortune. Good on you for being good to yourselves.
Still sober to this day. Everyday is a miracle. Stay strong everyone struggling with addiction.
@@jayteaman keep it up
Hearing his story makes me reflect. Social drinker/binge drinker on weekends for 3 decades. Tolerance peaked where I could drink a 750ml bottle of whiskey and still function (drunk but functional). The negative effects overcame the fun positive. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired the day after. I remember not drinking on a Friday night and waking up Saturday and feeling great and thinking "wow, this is a new experience". 😄 Now I'll go 3 months in-between having a drink. Last Friday had 3 old fashions at a happy hour, felt like crap all day Saturday. My drinkin' days are over.
Oh wow, I unexpectedly nearly got teary when he spoke about ADHD anxiety making you use other people as guardrails. It's a never ending cycle of being othered & trying to get people to help you stop being othered by them (because you don't understand necessarily where the lines are & what's so wrong with you), & then those same people feel burdened by your earnestness to do what they determine is the right thing.
My personal experience of ADHD is that it ruins your life one little slice at a time & he's explained two of those ways so well (reliance on others to be guardrails & the disposition towards addiction).
23 days sober and still craving that numbness that alcohol brings. Never had a DUI so I rationalized it in my head that I had it under control, but ended up in the hospital due to booze and the withdrawals. Trying to work a program and struggling with heavy depression now that I'm not numbing everything out, but trying to take it one day at a time.
Don’t give up
He is 100% correct. Every word. If I had to do over, I'd say if you do drink socially, quit at 30. Have manageable fun in your 20's, and quit at 30.
What about New Year’s Eve when you are 31????
That’s the hard part is having MANAGEABLE fun.. I’m abt to be 22 n had a bit too much fun.. Giving a irresponsible 19 year old child who is already terrible at money management a $1,500 line of credit is great for the cc company but not so much for me.. 🤣 on the sobriety journey now and the debt I’ve amassed is scary my score is absolutely tanked and I’m scared ash
Generally I agree, it seems like people that drink early (18-28) and later (65-80) in life are fine. But getting hammered regularly in the middle of your life is a recipe for disaster.
@@cMind607I screwed my credit completely when I was 21 or 22. I’m about to be 26 now and I’m in the 700’s again. Work hard and be responsible moving forward, you’ll take care of it over time 🤝
Easier said than done!
Love Koechner! Did a few interviews with him back in the day (phone and in-person). He was the best -- very warm and funny. I remember once he called me back for a phone interview and the first thing he said was, "Yes, I'm looking for an Irishman!" Haha. I knew it was going to be a fun chat. Glad to see he is happy and sober and sharp as ever. Put this man in more stuff, Hollywood! (As if "Hollywood" is one thing and is reading this.)
Love this open/honest conversation
I've been going to AA many of years, you can tell these two are probably deep with AA as well. I don't necessarily think that you HAVE to go to AA long term like I remember people were in my group for 30+ years I mean if it works for you great and keep doing it obviously. But I stopped going when I realized I was just going to listen to the stories and wasn't really providing much to the group, they thought I was just being shy, but I was sort of bored of it and ready to get out and test myself. Naturally I failed and had to go back =) But that's life. But I left the group again when I moved to a new state and I don't know but I felt a tiny release after being so busy with the move and work and family life that I just centered myself. I know it's cliche to say but if I touched a bottle of whiskey or vodka right now it would probably be only a few days til I was full blown again.
Just over 4 years with no alcohol for me, don’t miss it at all
It’s poison. Good for u! I’m 36 and can’t get past two weeks.
I'm also 4 years alcohol free after about 40 years of heavy use and I'll never go back to that voluntary enslavement. For those that want to stop please know you can.
Why are you counting the days then?
@@DmantopG just over 4 years isn’t counting days
@@DmantopG I would be counting the days proudly. Why are you hating?
"I have told my kids if there is one thing I could've redone, it's I would've never taken a drink!" @4:57 Man I feel that deeply in my core so much. I have said the same exact thing to my oldest son who is now a teenager. Not in a preachy or lecturing kind of way, but I know I have absolutely stunted every part of my adult potential because I turned to a drink. I have tried to make him and my nephews understand how important it is to not give in to substances, because in the end you'll regret it. I hate how much my drinking has let my wife and kids down. I still work(I'm a functioning alcoholic) but I have robbed them of the best person I could be and whom they deserve. The amount of shame and guilt I feel has made me suicidal on more occasions than I care to admit. I appreciate people like David Koechner for being able to be vulnerable, while not dismissing how much this has f**ked him and anyone like "us" who've had this taken over our life's.
I understand what you are saying but for a lot of people substances actually prolong lives because they're an escape. As a kid I wanted to end it all until I found out I could have some relief with alcohol. You have to pay for that eventually and it may cost you your future, but you are still here.
@@BigBadJerryRogers Alcohol is a depressant. Unless you’re a moderate drinker, doesn’t the few hours of relief turn into a day of being miserable and hung over? As I mentioned in my other comment, alcohol delays everything. It sounds like you drink to avoid (delay) an underlying issue. One of my favorite quotes is “The gates of hell are locked from the inside”, meaning you can get up and walk out whenever you want.
@@BigBadJerryRogers I apologize if my comment came across as gospel, it’s certainly not. I know a lot of people that have substances help them a lot. Just due to my mental state and family history, it’s not the best thing for me personally. But I’m having a hard time cutting back myself.
@@iap6647 to answer that first question, yes and no. I'm not miserable when I am hungover, I actually enjoy it because I drink a bit to reset the following day but that's shut off right after so as to not repeat, only to reset and prepare for the week. You have to understand that that's how a lot of people keep a balance in life, the rest of the week is spent on healthier pursuits and working. So is it escapist behavior, absolutely. Is it putting something off, no, because I work so hard to compensate. It's almost as if I do that so I can earn my reward and drink. Is that healthy? Nope. But it's the best I can do, and it could be a lot worse. And I don't necessarily do that every single week and I have had periods to stop. But I wasn't any happier for it.
Ultimately, alcohol delays whatever you’re trying to accomplish in life. Whether it be career, relationships, hobbies, fitness etc., alcohol simply pushes it down the road.
Not necessarily, but it is progressive and doesn't work eventually if you don't die. If you have the "allergy" and keep drinking heavily, you'll end up locked up, covered up or sobered up. I've seen some folks go a long while and keep it together and if they are lucky get sorted just in the nick of time. Tough love is a good measure though don't indulge a dude or dudess going South bad!!! Better to set a line and keep it.
It sure does
That's funny. It's really sped up several relationships in my experience.
Haha assuming you wind up still living to have something to push it to.
Not true for many and the reason why is because a lot of people will push those things hard to make up for substance use, that's true in my case. And they use the substances as their reward for that.
A big problem in this country is that alcohol is glamorized. It sponsors many big events. When the alcohol companies can choose to cut their profits, maybe some headway can be made.
It's fucking tough. Good luck to everyone going through it.
Really great insight into the overlap of ADHD and addiction.
ADHD is not addictive.
@@robovac3557that’s not at all what’s being implied here. Did you watch the video?
im sorry i wasn't paying attention @@robovac3557
People with mental illness and issues are often drawn towards alcohol or drugs in general. There are many overlaps.
@@robovac3557no. But ADHD, especially undiagnosed and untreated, is a huge risk factor for substance abuse and addiction.
35 years sober. I would not have made today if I had never drank. I had to acknowledge that fact when I ‘divorced’ the love of my life in 89’. I thanked alcohol for making my life tolerable until it was not. I have found something else and I am going to make a commitment to that. I once could not ever imagine life without you in the glass in my hand right along side me forever but I must move on now… she was when we first met exciting, exhilarating , perfect , easy like Sunday mornings.. the abuse started slowly. Nearly imperceptible. By the end she had beat me down to a state of complete willingness to try something different. Begining with a simple chip of silver.
This all is so relatable. Thank you so much for sharing and continue saying “don’t drink today” to yourself one day at a time ❤️
Shoutout to any and all that keep fighting to put more time between themselves and the next drink.
This is amazing to see people be so honest, its hard being honest with ourselves, let alone others.
Proud of you for your bravery and sharing this. It will save lives David.
Alcohol is a very funny thing.......I myself was a binge drinker for 20 plus years....loved drinking and being drunk and at times must have been borderline alcoholic, unable to go to a store without buying a bottle, unable to drink without getting smashed and quite frankly prefering myself drunk to sober. All of a sudden, thankfully, in my late thirties, a switch must have flicked in my brain (not by choice as I miss the drunken escapades) and it was no longer a need for me, not even a want. I havent drunk in years, have a large whiskey collection without any urge to drink and count myself extremely lucky. That being said, I now struggle with food and my weight.....so maybe Ive just substituted one addiction for another.
Get on mounjaro, it changed my life. I went from 219 lbs to 175 lbs. It takes away the food addiction. 💯
I couldn’t agree more…I wish I never took a drink. I didn’t become an alcoholic overnight, it happened slowly and then all at once. Stay away from booze because it’s better to never become an alcoholic than find out you have a problem later in life. It can happen to anyone. If you do drink and don’t have a problem, I’m jealous 😊
coming up on 6 years in a couple months, love to everybody
For me alcohol and ADHD became a way for me to exercise control over my interior being. I could do a thing and know how my mental state was going to be.
I am so glad that people are finally exposing how TOXIC the alcohol is to the body and to families ... Very glad to hear recovery stories and for people to reach out and speak to others, especially the actors who kind of made that drinking and mayhem look fun and exciting in their films and sitcoms. This is really how the world of drinking goes, can ruin lives, make you someone you never meant to be, total chaos. God Help us ALL!
He can just get Ryan to drive him around.
David is actually lucky from a health perspective. 50 years of boozing is literally how long I’ve been alive. Lol. Some people develop cirrhosis of the liver from drinking literally half that amount of time. Good to see him sober though.
What an awesome interview! Stay strong everyone!!!
I havent had a drink for months but I miss it. For what? Its one of the best experiences out there being out with friends, drinking having fun. But I also know it eventually ends badly. Just a tough deal
Such an odd comment to leave here
You don’t have to drink to have fun with your friends.
@@stephengrigg5988 What's odd about it? I had times that were fun as hell with my friends, filled with laughter and memories I'll remember for the rest of my life. It's not all sitting in a dark room with a bottle of booze getting shitfaced and depressed or waking up sweating from withdrawal. It may lead to that, sure. I remember many times in the summer going out to my uncle's farm pond, fishing, drinking, grilling out, listening to the Cubs game on the radio....no fights, just laughing, enjoying company and fresh country air, no fucking politics and cell phones. Fun times.
I didn’t think it was odd.
Just think about the next morning thats what I do.
Getting sober is hard. Admitting everything like that is hard. Glad he's doing better. FUcking hysterical dude.
I am sober 15 years and I will never ever never drink again. I do have dreams about relapses, but wake up relieved I didn't pick up. Of all the Steps in AA the most important is the first one. It's easy after that.
I started young, managed to stop at a younger age and was lucky. 30 plus years later I realized it was the YEAR of forced sobriety.
6 months in county and 6 months in a rehab did the trick and I never once looked back. Started when I was about 16 and finished my ugly run at 30.
I despised the P.O. who violated me and got me sent to jail for 6 months. I blamed her for it all.
Two years later, if I could have remembered her name, I would have sent her a nice thank you card for saving my life...
I feel the same about her today, 30 happily dry years later...
Well done to Koechner for being a celebrity willing to openly talk his own demons and how he defeated them.
I know I’m late to this post but congrats to everyone here who made it to sobriety and best of luck to those of us still trying
I truly hope he can find his path to staying sober, it kills me watching people struggle with addiction.. having gone through it, I can only relate addiction to drowning... slowly and not realizing it.. until you do, or it's too late.
4:08 dude…this is me. Geezus i can’t believe ive been doing this to my friends. Day 6 sober
It will be 7 years in October and I'm so glad I don't drink anymore. It's all about beer and booze out here in the SW desert where it's everywhere and that first year was the hardest. After that you just keep going. Had my first drink at 6 or 7 years old and it never lets you go but you gotta let it go or you will destroy you. Wishing David and anyone and everyone struggling sobriety and the peace and happiness they deserve without the poison and lies. Stay strong.
If you would've never taken that first sip, you might be an insurance agent in Des Moines right now with without the life experiences you've had. You're where you need to be, where you've needed to have been. Enjoy the ride.
I respect this guy because he's the one celebrity who took his dui with dignity instead of lying or pulling the celebrity schtick.
Im clean and sober since 1989. Took about 8 years of sobriety to get to a normal state of mind. Being sober for 35 years, I can tell you, you NEVER have to relapse. I never have
Yup when david said he first got drunk at 10 same here. We were just kids at our families st pattys day party for adults pouring beer and shots and you know what's coming next and I don't think our parents really gave a damn either, not that they wanted us to drink or anything but they probably thought ohhh whats a little beer going to hurt we're all here together etc. Even though I essentially was a full blown alcoholic (not raging, but drinking 3-4 days a week minimum) by my senior year in HS. And within those years there were gaps where I didn't touch alcohol at all like we didn't touch booze again til 8th grade I believe and 9th grade I was a good kid because I really wanted to get my grades up since I just started HS. sophomore year a few parties maybe 3 times I got drunk. by junior year it was becoming every weekend and senior year 3-4 nights a week. I think what ultimately turned me into more of a raging and daily drinker was figuring out that my parents trust me and it's very easy to get your hands on alcohol and sneak around the house. I fell in love with watching sports and drinking I remember the first time was an Ole Miss game with Eli Manning and I had SO much fun watching that game just by myself on TV that it was off to the races.
Alcoholics are "triggered by *everything*"!! 💯 Truth!
I reject the idea that you’re always an alcoholic. I’m not an alcoholic- I used to be one. Not the same
Semantics. It's up to you to decide whether or not you're an alcoholic. The idea behind the "always an alcoholic" philosophy is to remind you that the vast majority of people with drinking problems relapse, and it's dangerous to get complacent and think you've "cured" your alcoholism... Especially if that can lead you to thinking "oh, I can have _one_ drink."
I'm 32, and my wake-up call was this January when my lips began quivering and would go numb. This was happening each day for about a week. I learned that, for me, this was a withdrawal symptom.
Get a beer in ya
great interview thank you i got alot out of this !
It takes me at least 2 months of straight of telling myself day after day I'm going to get sober "tomorrow" before I actually have managed to do it. Managed a year, relapsed, now I'm 2 weeks sober today. Much harder this go around than it was the first time
This dude is way self aware which is nice given his goofy persona and the mannerisms translate the exact same jaja
My substance is marijuana… my wife hates it hates it… I have adhd… it helped me focus in school… it helps me relax… I am now 5 weeks sober… AND IT FUCKING SUCKS!!! I got laid off two weeks ago.. my wife is pregnant. Every day I apply to new jobs…
I know it’s not like alcohol.. not even close.. (my father was an alcoholic..)
But man that weed. Can be ADDICTING! Especially after so many years of relying on it… but now I just want to use it to help me escape the moment.. to find peace in this shit storm I call my life.. there is no peace right now. I shouldn’t say that.. there are good days and really really bad days… I miss my friend.
30 years, I'm 49 now..thank God.
Suprising insight and depth for someone known just as a mostly comic actor
LOVE DAVID’S BRAVERY .
Part my acceptance of being an alcoholic, was to realize how fleeting, and futile it is. From the point of my first drink, and I don't mean cocktail, I mean the first time it hit my lips, my brain was on a mission to plan how to drink for the rest of the night. Then, it was how to get rid of the hangover and anxiety of the next day. Then into the evening how I could keep buzzed enough to sleep. The next morning...when can I have my first drink? It's hopeless. And it's consuming. I know some people can't understand the mindset of an alcoholic. But it's torture. It's not fun. It's not glamorous. Basically we spend our days trying not to feel like we are dying. No different than a cocaine addict, or heroin addict. Just stop our bodies from withdrawal at ALL COSTS!!! God bless anyone that has or are currently going through this. Stay strong. You CAN do it!
I don't know what 'sober' is.
I'm in recovery. I haven't had a drink in several months. I didn't drink yesterday. I don't want a drink today. I think I'm alright for tomorrow. But I don't count any farther than that. Every day is a new struggle and every day is a new chance to trip up.
Yeah yeah little bubba. Yall are funny on these comments 😂
Compassion and Accountability ✨
I only waste my time with booze when I have to… I love to drink… But I know my limitations and I know exactly when to start and stop… That’s one good thing about having a very strong mental focus on anything that you do being able to start and stop a dependency that is for most people… I do not have those issues. Grateful for willpower.
Man, dealing with all that is a lot. But it hit me he's doing it in as charged an environment as Hollywood. That's rough buddy.
Had some beers with this dude like 8 years ago in philly and he was hilarious
24 years now, great to be healthy ❤😂
I stop old years night,1999.😊
Damn this hit home with me. Not an alcoholic but I do rely on it heavy for large social gatherings. I have a lot of tendancies that David described and my ADHD gets real bad sometimes. I do think breath work and focusing on the present is huge to keep the social stamina going with other people that are drinking. I hope to quit some day soon.
Anyone else keep expecting Neil to finish a sentence with "Mm'kay" ?
In the early days drinking made me comfortable in my skin, but then booze stopped making me feel comfortable in my skin and then I started drinking against my will and drinking when I didn't want to drink.
I drank rarely in college. For health reasons I choose not to drink at all after that.
But if you want a really good recipe for being the guy in the room who is looked at with dismay this is it.
People arent usually mature enough to realize how personal a choice NOT drinking is.
Really like this guy and he’s a great actor too.
"“Alcohol is the only drug in the world where, when you stop taking it, you are seen as having a disease.”
Anyone who seeks the path of sobriety should know, you are the normal one!
(Excerpt: Quit Like a Woman. Holly Whitaker)
And he says,,,
Whammy!
I’m loaded again 😂
Been struggling the last few years snd it runs super heavy in the fam. Seeing this kind of stuff even if the intention is supposed to be positive never seems reassuring, and a little hopeless
The struggle of feeling you need to maintain, is very real, celebrity or not
Classic Todd Packer!
Classic Pack-man/Champ Kind throwin' back a few shots and getting behind the wheel of the truck and hitting on chicks.
I'm over 3 years sober.
If you are codependent, no point in trying to control other people. Let it go. Your boundaries are YOURS, not for them.
He looks great and I'm glad to see how honest he is about everything. I look up to that
So happy to see this. I was sad to see that he was turning into the characters he played on screen. Here he's very articulate and able to hold himself accountable for the decisions he's made in the past. Hoping to see more from this chap in the future, I've never not liked something he's been in.
Dudes' DUI arrest was on Law & Crime less than a year ago. I hope he's not lying to himself to keep drinking.
What's your point? Yes, the episode aired, and it was well after the event occurred.
It’s interesting to see how clueless non-addicts are. It’s like soldiers who saw children bleed to death and their brothers in arms blown up with IEDs; and then are told “have you tried not thinking about it?”
Lmfao not at all.
Sober for 8 years here.
Good for him
I’ve been fighting it for awhile
Neil's glasses make we want to drink
This guy was Very triggered on the Norm podcast when he was wearing the fedora
Dude is Todd Packer playing David
I love David so much. He's a fucking hilarious comedian and actor. Glad he's doing well again!
Seems like he was playing more of himself than Todd Packer while on The Office. Glad he realized what he was doing and changed his ways. Most will continue that trend until they're homeless, in prison for a long time, or dead.
Alcohol is garbage my body rejects it makes my legs cramp makes me shit piss i can’t drive i can’t take my kid anywhere it’s just trash i hope he stays sober inspiring
that guy saying 1-2 years as recently is insane xd
I appreciate David's story
Man I want an ice cold beer
It is hard when these are our parents.
Thanks for this
About the employee/employer relationship, y’all go read the “To Employers” chapter pg 136 in the Big Book
He's resilient
I can totally relate.
The easiest time to get help is today
Good for you David, one day at a time adds up
People need to realize the Neal has an inferiority complex and is always motivated to elevate himself through moral superiority disguised as compassion. David is just awesome though. Keep it up, you're a true inspiration!
Who would have thought, Packer getting sober LoL
Way to go David 👏. Alcohol tastes nasty so i don't have to worry about it, let's gooooo!
I'm a recovering alcoholic of many years. I'm still laughing at the alcoholic insanity of wanting to change your sobriety date to New Year's Day. I probably would have done the same thing. Just remember: it's not the drinkin', it's the thinkin'!
I am beer.
