On numerous occasions, I have been asked the following question: "Humpy, are you a high-functioning alcoholic?" High-functioning? Well, I wouldn't go that far. However, I will go this far: If you want to see me do something totally amaze-balls? Drain a fifth of booze down my throat. Once during a bender, I scaled a two-story building with a lit cigarette in my mouth, fell right before I reached the top, and hit the ground in a lump. I immediately hopped right up, flicked the ash off my smoke, and yelled, "Okay, which one of you turds has my Jack Daniel's?" (NOTE: Do not try this sort of stupid nonsense at home—especially if you're not drunk.)

Booze has always provided me with magic superpowers of one sort or another. Whiskey makes me impervious to pain (and makes me a moderate-to-terrible climber). Tequila gives me incredible balance (gimme two shots and watch me ride a unicycle). Rum gives me super arm-wrestling strength, and vodka makes me irresistible to either sex, while simultaneously allowing me to remember and quote any rap song written since 1987.

Conversely, pot gives me the ability to suffer multiple panic attacks before eating an entire pizza and falling asleep for 15 hours.

So for the most part, it's true: Everything is better with booze. (With the possible exceptions of explaining previous drunken actions to a judge, flying helicopters, and performing circumcisions.) HOWEVER! It is an irrefutable FACT that liquor improves one's ability to teach, as has been proven time and time again by the absolutely hilarious web series Drunk History—which is getting its own TV series coming to Comedy Central this Tuesday, July 9, at 10 p.m.!

For those unfamiliar with the history of Drunk History, it was created by genius Derek Waters and debuted on YouTube in December 2007 using the following insanely simple premise: Get someone super-drunk, film them explaining a historical event, and then have famous comic actors re-create exactly what the stinking drunk person is describing. Of course, hilarity ensues! Quickly hop over to funnyordie.com/drunkhistory to see Michael Cera reenacting Alexander Hamilton's duel with Aaron Burr, Jack Black as Benjamin Franklin discovering electricity, Will Ferrell as Abraham Lincoln meeting Don Cheadle as Frederick Douglass, and more! Not only will you actually listen and learn a lot about these historical events, but the narrator will also probably vomit during the lecture... soooo... double score!

And the new Comedy Central series is shaping up to be just as great! Each show will focus on the history of an American city that was instrumental to our country's birth—for example, the debut episode spotlights Washington, DC, and features stinking drunk retellings of the Watergate scandal (starring Nathan Fielder and Fred Willard), the Lincoln assassination (with Parks and Recreation's Adam Scott as John Wilkes Booth), and the unforgettable day when Elvis met President Nixon (Jack Black and Bob Odenkirk).

If you're a big fan of Ken Burns's historical documentaries—then you maaaaay not like this. But if you're a drunk, and your alcoholic superpower is "being smart," then don't miss Drunk History! Now... which one of you turds has my Jack Daniel's?!? recommended
