As always this was a great video. I really appreciate that you are doing these videos to educate our generation! Keep up the great work!

Benjamin Davis

I'm glad you're doing this series. I'm a truck driver, and I see all this stuff on the road all the time. I'm guilty of driving sleep deprived myself, as well as texting while driving (not that one anymore). I have a great view to see who's doing what, and the stupid crap people do amazes me. I woke up in oncoming traffic once, it was terrifying.

Stephanie Martin

I can’t wait for the driving stoned episode. I myself partake but I definitely don’t drive high ever. I do however know many many people who do and it always sketches me out to think about. I actually had a friend over recently and she got high with me which was usual but then she got up saying she had to go and I was like ummm do you need me to call a taxi or Uber ? And she replied “no I drive better high anyways” and I couldn’t convince her not to. She got home fine but still.

Because a late classmate died in an accident with a drunken driver years ago, I never drink and drive (ok, I'm pregnant, so I don't drink anyway). But I'm guilty of driving with a lack of sleep at times. I'm not proud of it and I really should pay more attention to my body, especially now. I really look forward to the next videos!

"Barely Science!"

Mairéad

I'm fighting a DUI at the moment. All this is super true!

Jessica K. McLeod

Great idea to do sleep deprived. That is the one of these scenarios that I am guilty of. I was fresh out of high school, living on my own for the first time, and working 2 jobs. There were days I didn't remember, let alone drives I didn't remember. There is no way I was being responsible. So hard when you have to make a living to get by though. Thanks Try Guys for having fun and educating' at the same time!

René Ruiz

all I can think about watching this is how I can't convince my mom to not drive drunk. It's terrifying.

Autumn

I absolutely lost it at the very end when you Eugene said “dental hygienist assistant” 😂😂 just the way he said it

Mandy Barner

I was once rear-ended by a drunk off-duty cop on Easter Sunday, and because the police are totally 100% fair all the time, I got arrested for it and spent the night in jail! Anyway, the moral of the story is if you drive drunk, you're an asshole. But the thing about being an asshole is you can stop at any time and choose to do better! So you should do that! Great video, guys.

Steven Z Carroll

I drove drunk once from Hoboken to New Brunswick Nj after a girls night with my best friend. I remember none of the drive, of arriving at my boyfriends house, I do remember the riot act the next morning from him and our friends. It was stupid, we thought we were invincible. I thank god every day nothing happened to my best friend, other people, or myself. I knew I had a problem. Never again from that day.

Melissa C.

Glad the Try Guys made this video; It's an eye-opener for those who've driven drunk thinking they can do no harm. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Barbara B

Great video and very eye opening. It was a laugh, nice to see you guys having fun, but also the fact you reflected on it the next day was amazing and basically showed that while you had fun, you understand that if you were on the road it would have been very dangerous with possible dire consequences. I really hope it makes people think. You really do educate people, and keep it real. You admit past mistakes and own them. Carry on keeping it real and have fun!

Tiegan

I loved how honest they all were about how they've pushed the limits with this type of thing in the past. I think most people can relate to that and that honesty is what makes the Try Guys the best!

Hayley Gregory

As someone who doesn’t drink, but has almost been hit by a drunk drive and has known people who have gotten into terrible accidents because of it, I am so glad that you did this video. Not only that, but I’m so happy you’re going to explore other dangerous areas of driving. Driving tired can be extremely dangerous even though you may not realize it when it’s happening. Pull over. Call a friend or a ride service. It’s never worth it.

Ashley Rose

a great video. i can't wait for the rest of the series!\

talvi alexandros

Haven't even finished the video, but DAMN that doctor's tie is awesome! #fashion

Kelsey Mariani

I have so much respect for you guys, not only for making this series, but for being honest about your past mistakes. I think that honesty makes this even more powerful!

Janni Kouring Stensgaard

Sober Ned is great and all, but drunk Ned is exactly the guy I never want to meet when I’m out. 😬

Sam

Ok...before the sad stuff....knob creek is the shit, well done. Ok, not so great stuff. In my 33 years, I have known several, several people who have died in drunk driving accidents. I have known several more who have killed their best friend while driving drunk. I’ve even personally known someone who hit and killed a 7 year old boy waiting for the school bus. Please, please don’t ever drive drunk, or even buzzed. Get an Uber. It’s so fucking easy. You don’t want to be personally responsible for the loss of someone else’s life. On the flip side, you don’t want to put the people you love through that. It’s forever. I know I sounds like a parent scolding, but this is so fucking real. I hope everyone takes that message away from this video.

Lily

I was also hoping you would have driven at different stages of alcohol consumption----some people--young people--think they can drink a drink, not be legally drunk and drive. We know that's not the case. But kudos to you and I hope my suggestion played a part in this----the sleep deprivation one is genius because stats show that many people drive far too exhausted.

Darkhorse3211

Even though this is so not the circumstance in which I want to see you drinking it. haha Glad you guys made this video. This topic's really important and not enough people take it seriously.

Hayley Gregory

This was great educational video. Years ago, I was always considered the "designated drunk driver" and believed that I was great at driving after drinking. It wasn't until my best friend was killed by a drunk driver that I realized there is no good reason to try to drink and drive and no one is above that standard. I am fortunate and grateful that I never hurt anyone or caused a serious accident when I drove but its sad it took me having to lose someone to come to that realization. I think what you guys are trying and proving is great and I hope that people really listen to you. I love all your videos and wish you great success in this new chapter of your lives.

Christine Anderson

I think that it's honestly so incredible that the Try Guys continue to do serious experiments like this while still having fun. The greatest thing about these is that we are able to laugh at how silly they can be together and the way they act, but the guys are still able to get serious and reflect on what they learned, & it gives us as their viewers a chance to also take away something really valuable from their videos . The Try Guys are so funny and so wonderfully smart in how they curate these kinds of videos, and have grown so much since their first educational experiment videos from 3-4 years ago. Thanks, guys. xx

Eugene, this is so random but I work for Knob Creek and I'm glad you're a fan! haha

Hayley Gregory

Whether this transpired from a suggestion I made on youtube or not, I am elated. I have a lot of young people I teach, and I suggested this because the Try Guys are popular with them. I wanted a video to show just how affected your driving can be with different levels of alcohol. A dear friend of my family, he lost his son to drunk driver on a snowy night. his son was going out to get a Valentine's Day card for his fiance, and a woman who was drunk, no license etc hit him. He was killed instantly :( Thank you Try Guys! I will be sharing this when it goes up on Youtube tomorrow <3 <3

Darkhorse3211

Important note that I hope the guys see!! There are some folks who are triggered by the topic and might not watch the video, as well as those who are very leery about allowing themselves to watch, and the phrase "Test Drunk Driving" sounds potentially way more flippant or lacking in respect than you guys are aiming for, and is a shock o read for those sensitive to it. It's a title that might pack a bigger anxiety response than necessary, or make it seem like you guys aren't taking it seriously. I don't know if it's the "test" part, the "drunk driving" part, or the combination of the two. It might not actually be a huge deal, but I'm still going to put in a vote to tweaking the title by changing "Test" to something like "Experience" and/or "Drunk Driving" to "Driving Under the Influence." Thanks for reading and considering in either case!

Leigh Legler

I love this kind of video from you guys! The fact that Eugene is going to look at his life choices of drinking and driving now (i hope he won't do it again, hitting the dog seemed to effect him) will be a great message to your followers. They see him as confident and want to immulate him (all of the try guys really), but hopefully seeing that this didn't go well and even they realize that could change lives. Keep up the videos like this! i can't wait for the next 3 in the series and more educational videos where you try something dangerous so we don't have to.

Swayze

I could see that. But they talk about how alcohol gives you that confidence and so maybe dunk Ned wasn’t playing it up but he was actually trying to drive well thinking he was doing fine. Your depth perception and reflexes are way off so he probably didn’t realize at the time just how fast he was going and how reckless he was being

Katelyn Young

Thank you for making this video, this is so important. And I love that you guys were honest about yourselves and your experiences instead of pretending like you’ve never pushed the limits. This is the content I subscribe for!

Katelyn Young

Why didn't y'all play the widely-known and very real drinking game called Devil's Triangle?

Richard Romero

Another amazing video. I love how you guys are about entertainment but also honest education as well!

Amanda Bailey

This is great! I love it when you bring in experts and educate on a subject in a new and fun way.

Linda Marie Rønning

That bit at the end hit me kind of hard. I've never driven drunk or high, and I absolutely never will. Never texted while driving, and never will. But I have driven when I didn't get enough sleep. That one is harder, you don't always have a choice. You need to get to work, or pick up the kids, or do some other responsibility. That sort of thing can't always be canceled because you didn't get enough sleep.... But it's just as dangerous, and is really making me rethink things. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

Cryptid

Can we just talk about the doctors m&m tie? loving it

Kathryn whitacre

Good video.

Randall M Bell

I love these videos but I feel like the seriousness of the issue was undercut but not having everyone take it as seriously. Ned’s drive was funny but he wasn’t driving like he was trying to do a good job. He was driving like he was trying to be reckless because he knew he’d be fine since it was a controlled drive. Don’t get me wrong I love this video and I think Ned’s section was so funny but it wasn’t the same tone as everyone else’s. Everyone else seemed like they were trying to ace it and it was a kind of uncomfortable balance (in my opinion) Still love all four of you and I’m still really excited to see the rest of the series.

Shana McCord

Eugene : I'm so glad you said that it made you rethink how you behave while drunk, and I hope you won't do it anymore 💜 This video was great, funny, educational, with a strong message and good reality check. I can't wait for the rest of the series!

Julia Solaire

As someone who doesn't drive and currently lives in Tokyo, Japan, where the designated driver of the night generally exercises great amount of self-restraint...this video is really insightful for me because otherwise I'd never really experience it myself. Powerful video, powerful message, and seems like really worth the huge production $$$ :D

Cindy Fransisca

These videos are my favorite ones, but I gotta be honest, I felt uneasy even though it was a controlled situation. Still, I wanna see more! #YAYScience!!

Monique Lima

RIP to Keith's car #respect

Janice

Powerful. I love it when you educate

Isabella A.

5 minutes in and can I just say that the sight of Ned pulling Keith to the corner The Bachelor-style.....damn he is one fine man.
