Over the weekend, an old clip from<em> The Diary of a CEO <\/em>podcast went viral in which Steven Bartlett shared his experience with alcohol. In his conversation with YouTuber Chris Williamson, Bartlett shared that after quitting alcohol for a year, he tried it again as an experiment.<\/p>\n<p>The entrepreneur said that he had a couple of glasses of wine, which &#8220;ruined&#8221; three days of his life because of a domino effect. Steven Bartlett claimed that the wine disrupted his sleep and digestion, which caused him to podcast &#8220;poorly&#8221; the following day. He added that he was keeping track of all the vitals on his fitness tracker. The investor said that he realized that several glasses of wine could have a hidden domino effect.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>On May 23, an X user shared the clip from Bartlett&#8217;s December 2025 podcast, which garnered over 17 million views. Matt Walsh reacted to the clip on May 24 and posted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The anti-alcohol stuff has become totally hysterical. It\u2019s the worst and the gayest of the 90s anti-smoking propaganda all over again. Give up alcohol if you want but the stuff isn\u2019t battery acid. A sip won\u2019t send you to the hospital. A glass of wine ruined three days of your life? When did it become normal and acceptable for men to brag about their weak constitutions? Really weird.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Walsh further took a dig at Bartlett and added a comment on his own X post, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I drank two glasses of wine and then podcasted worse\u201d might be the most pathetic sentence ever uttered by a male of the human species.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Walsh&#8217;s comment drew a reaction from journalist Tracy Beanz, who took a jibe, saying, &#8220;We are going to outlive you.&#8221; In response, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/podcasts\/news-haters-can-kiss-a-ben-shapiro-addresses-layoffs-daily-wire-targets-nick-fuentes-candace-owens-megyn-kelly-tucker-carlson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Daily Wire<\/a> host said that he didn&#8217;t care, as he has six kids who would keep his &#8220;bloodline&#8221; alive.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I could die tomorrow and I still win. The \u201chealth optimizers\u201d only care about extending their own lives by every minute possible. They don\u2019t think about bloodline and legacy.
