Bill Cosby - Drinking Skit

I am not sure if I am allowed to post this, so if not, go ahead an delete it, but this is a hilarious skit where he wonders "why people get drunk?"

Oh that's great. One of the things that doesn't get spoken about much at the AA meetings I attend is the pissing and the vomiting which goes with the drinking. I suppose it's too gross to discuss. But a moment's clarity before the first drink should remind us of what happens to our bodies as they try to reject the poison we're putting into them.

Found a Richard Prior skit too, it gets a little more serious about the addiction after 7:00 min point.

The Richard Pryor Show - Maya Angelou - YouTube

EDIT: Just realized this is in the Newcomers section, should definitely be moved to alcoholism or another section.... Café Central would probably be the right place.

This was funny! I hope it remains on the Newcomers page.

Taking a comical look at our drunken behavior....isn't all bad.

Maybe we can sticky a bunch of funny but inspirational videos about this.

I love Cosby's voice when he impersonates the body.

"Slow down the drinking"
"Reverse Gears!"

I DESERVE THIS! I WORKED HARD FOR IT!
