Ironically this video came up as a recommendation, I will be six years sober in the morning, would be nice to have a drink to celebrate but could I stop at one or two? I'd tried doing that for 25 yrs but it didn't work..
The cleverest bloke in the pub
How does someone get to valhalla, If they don't drink into Oblivion?
Preaching no alcohol no meat 3k views no wonder there's only 145 likes 😎
Why can't men sit down to pee, to avoid splashing?
Great chat, neat fella, WELL worth listening to.
Ok Adrian, so the doctrines of Original Sin, Purgatory, and Virgin Birth and Resurrection are not extreme? Get a grip mate.
Adrian is drinking Lucky Saint. A great non alcoholic beer.
This channel represents what is wrong with much of our society. There's plenty of people on the right opperating this way too… You're all as bad as one another and equally pathetic.
Gotcha politics etc…..
Edit: Not speaking to this specific video, but the channel in general.
Left hanging lol
Adrian looks really jaundiced in this – hopefully it's just the lighting.
'Drinkers like me' really helped me when I started drinking too much after losing a very close family member. I still enjoy social events or some red wine on the weekend, but I'm no longer putting back a bottle a night.
Wow there is still a pub that has not closed down yet
What's the relevance of this guy??
Bit harsh to take an alky down the pub!?
It's British society itself which is the issue really.
Bad form ordering the Guinness. Like waving a BigMac in front of a famine victim.
The dumbest thing he said was that he didn't get hangovers. Just because he's oblivious doesn't mean the alcohol isn't being processed by his liver. Drink doesn't ruin lives, hangovers ruin lives. If you drink every day then every morning is spent feeling rough. Alcohol is a depressant, not when you're drinking but after.
I gave up drinking a decade ago. It was either that or early death. My drinking habits were very similar to those of AC. My fear on giving up was not so much the pain of withdrawal I would go through, but far more how would I live my life, how would I fill my days, how would I survive being on holiday. I was retired (early) and virtually all my days were centred around a beer and I could not imagine a life, or doing anything, which did not involve a drink. Unlike AC I knew that if I still frequented pubs and tried to recreate my old life with alcohol-free beers I would soon relapse into full-time drinking. I only had this one chance. Sit me anywhere in the world with a pint and a crossword and I could pass my days happily. Nothing could replace that. I thought All my activities and social life were centred around having a beer and it was overcoming that which proved difficult but essential. I managed it, but good luck to all those thinking of giving up. Do it!
I vividly remember watching drinkers like me on YouTube a few years back,
Massively changed my views on drinking, and I’m Irish 😂
36:43: He's completely right. It's hilarious when people claim we have to eat meat because it's something that humans have done for millions of years.
29:40 …it's after about the first 2 drinks that the effect peaks.
My mum had that situation with her doctor where they told her she had to stop drinking. She went cold turkey, 2 weeks later she had a stroke. I don't know that it's connected, but I would caution people to not make big shifts in their consumption without taking the time to make the transition bit by bit.
Brilliant!
In 2009, Stewart Lee in conversation with Armando Iannucci, suggested we are living in a post-Chilesean era. Lee went onto say that in the 2000 years before Chiles, there was a feeling that something wasn't right but it is right now. I'd like to echo that sentiment in this comment section.
This resonated with me, A LOT. Cheers Joe 🍻
I'd rather be 'down a coal mine with Ted Bundy'
Very informative but lighthearted. Great video 👌
I’ve always thought I like a drink too much to develop a drink problem
Adrian Chiles accidentally is the perfect man. He just makes sense.
Brilliant, honest interview. This channel keeps getting better and better.
❤️
It also has to be said, Adrian, that NEW things aren't always the best idea either, old chap! There's such a thing as throwing the baby out with the bathwater (and we've 'always' done that, too!) 😛
Vegan is very much in the 'wait and see' category, both scientifically and nutritionally. And the longest-living people in the world have regular alcohol and animal proteins as essentials in their diet (Okinawa, Japan, and Italy/France). That's just a fact.
Interesting!
