Comedian and talk show hostBill Maher has never been one to avoid controversy.
But now he’s opening up about a past experience that even he would rather forget.
“I spent a night in the Beverly Hills jail, a DUI in 1992.
I’m not proud of [it],” he said.
“But I was barely over the limit.
Both with the speeding and with the drinking.
While the challenging ordeal clearly stuck with him, he reflected on the experience with his signature humor.
“It is sobering …
I ordered raisin toast, no raisins.
And that was before COVID hit, when the locked down nation really hit the bottle.
But the epidemic that preceded it, the anxiety epidemic, is not.
And usually when people drink, it’s to alleviate some form of anxiety.”
