He explained that he believes that alcohol was made into a norm and then slipped into our culture, making us think that it is okay to drink it. “I don't think anybody should drink it [alcohol]. I think it's a norm that slipped into our culture that we now just do it without thinking,” he said.
Bryan added, “But it's poison, and it's just bad for us. And there are many other ways to deal with relaxing ourselves or filling social lubrication positively. I don't think we should be drinking it [alcohol].”

I just don't see the benefit of it or why it's so prevalent in our culture.”
