David Boyle's Hilarious Opium Adventure in Varanasi

I've seen a lot of things, and here I am in the middle of the holy city, in the bedroom by myself slamming beers. It was beautiful, it was spiritual, it was good, whatever.
Imagine finding yourself in the spiritual heart of India, only to stumble into an opium den. That's exactly what happened to comedian David Boyle, and he’s sharing every outrageous detail in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. Boyle takes us on a whirlwind journey through Varanasi, where his quest for a drink leads him to an unexpected encounter with an opium dealer. This isn't your typical travel story—Boyle's vivid descriptions and side-splitting humor make it an unforgettable tale.
From the dealer with a dalmatian-like face to Boyle's antics after trying some Afghani opium, you'll be laughing out loud. But it's not all laughs; Boyle's adventure also sheds light on the wild experiences that can come with sobriety. Tune in for a mix of comedy, cultural exploration, and raw honesty as Boyle navigates his way through one of India's holiest cities.
