that's a tough one, man

Maybe go to a few meetings.

Bourdain was a cool fuckin dude because even though he struggled with addiction he knew it was just plain rude to turn down a drink

Yeah and anyway 61 is a ripe old age. If I knew it would take me 30 more years to die of alcoholism, I would just summon Candyman to murder me in a dark bathroom.

Say, that doesn't work

i summoned candyman once but it wasnt to murder me

Pegging? You've piqued my interest now

I've never bought into the idea that once you're an alcoholic, the cure is to NEVER TOUCH ALCOHOL AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE.

My dad used to drink too much, so he cut back. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation.

That’s not true, Jimmy used mouthwash at 15 and he swears it turned him down a dark path.

Wrong. It was Bartles and James. He still uses mouthwash nowadays to cover up cum breath.

tss yeah. Bartles and James Norton.

Yeah no. My father is an alcoholic for 20-30 years now and he now can go months without drinking but if he drinks one beer he's fucked for at least two weeks, until an intervention can stop him.

Alcoholism is genetic and moderation doesn't work here.

Had a family member like this. The answer really is: never again. These people just cannot stop.

[removed]

it really is rude. i had 6 days no alcohol then my boss came out to the shop with a beer and now i’ve been drinking half a bottle of whiskey a night and beers all day again for almost 2 weeks now.

Excuses

Your boss at Panera gave you a beer? lucky stiff

He experimented with heroin, that’s a real mother ducker.. I drank light beers and smoked a joint once. I know about it all man... I practically am authority on junk like Burroughs.

anyone remember hes got a story about him and his friend skittle used to hangs out at black neighbourhood dealing heroin while wearing baggy pants or some shit

have some mustard whore

Waddup toast

'I don't watch cooking shows because I don't want my recipes to be influenced'

“There’s too much salt/sugar in that kind of food”

There is nothing I want to hear less than "Winecooler Jim" pontificating on Bourdains mental illness and suicide. He went out like a man who was at the Top of his game. Take a hint Jimmy!

It’s a decade too late to pull that off.

I dunno man...........thats a tough one................

The problem with Jim is all the grooooovvvvvveeeelllllinnngggg.

That face says someone's about to get motherfucked.

For someone who works 3 hours a day he’s pretty - sorry VERY - ignorant on popular culture.

"Bourdain? He still has time to turn it around."

All Jim needed to know was that Bourdain was one of (((them))).

He knows what side his bread is buttered.

Didn't Bourdain not see/acknowledge him on a plan and Jimmy had an on-air spat about it?

Feel free to be a hero & dig up that audio.
