To promote his new book The Will To Whatevs, comedian Eugene Mirman recorded a few video tips to help the youth get through life. Man, if only I’d had his wisdom back at the turn of the decade… Wisdom like this here gem:

“Drinking is cool. I won’t lie to you and say drinking isn’t cool; drinking is very very cool. When people tell you drinking isn’t cool, what they mean to say is ‘don’t drink so much that you die.’”

The Will to Whatevs is out in bookstores now! Pick it up after you’re finished enjoying Eugene in Flight of the Conchords!
