Comedian David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time, it's all about his kids running amok in India.

Now, history is repeating itself as Boyle's kids take advantage of their grandparents' leniency in India. But there's a limit to what Boyle can tolerate, especially when it comes to his son's performance in soccer. Boyle's son, facing a team of Indian kids who seem to run with straight legs, struggles on the field, and Boyle's frustration is palpable.
