PewDiePie opens up about his past drinking habits in emotional podcast YouTube: Anything4views \/ PixabayYouTube superstar Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg recently opened about \u201cself control\u201d and his past problems with alcohol in a brutally honest podcast on July 10. PewDiePie may be best known for his meme reviews and comedy, but he\u2019s also used his channel in the past to talk about serious issues with his audience. In 2017, he released two videos on mental health and \u2018forced positivity\u2019 within the YouTube community. In the videos, he addressed how unhappy YouTubers can be, and why it\u2019s okay to talk about depression. Now he\u2019s opened up about his own personal history with alcohol. PewDiePie opened up about past alcohol issues The Swedish YouTuber recently appeared on the \u2018Cold Ones\u2019 podcast, which is hosted by \u2018Anything4views\u2019. During the almost two hour long conversation, the humorous tone suddenly turned serious when PewDiePie opened up about about his past drinking habits. \u201cI read this book on Buddhism, and it talked about self-control, and being in control of your body. And not always just doing what your craving wants you to do. I never thought about self control before, and how that changes your mentality.\u201d he said. (Timestamp 00:00:17 for mobile viewers.) He then talked about a drinking habit he didn\u2019t realize had formed. \u201cI used to have this habit of drinking whiskey, and I realized how hard it was just to stop that habit. I was like oh shit, it was actually kind of scary.\u201d The YouTube superstar dove into the reasons why he started drinking, and said: \u201cI started drinking whiskey because I was always working constantly. I never felt like I had a period where I could chill or relax at the end of the day.\u201d He even retold a story where he was on a call with Disney at the time, and drank to relieve the stress. This isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s mentioned it During the height of the PewDiePie vs T-Series showdown, the YouTuber released the sarcastic \u2018Congratulations\u2019 video when T-Series passed him in subs. Surprisingly, the song contained the lyrics \u201cJust there to pop bottles with my nine-year-old army, non-alcoholic cause I had a real problem\u201d which referenced his past problems with alcohol. PewDiePie\u2019s honest conversation about alcohol shines a light on how stressful some jobs can actually be. And how easy it is for a habit to form without even knowing it. We hope that the conversation makes more people realize that anyone can form a habit, and it\u2019s okay to talk about it and get help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
