About this episode

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T TOUCH ALCOHOL. Matthew Perry shares his experience with alcohol use disorder. 


Matthew Perry was an American and Canadian actor, creator, writer, producer and author. Best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the NBC television sitcom Friends. Perry suffered from severe addictions to drugs and alcohol. In his memoirs, Perry wrote that he became an alcoholic at age 14. Through his recovery, he became an advocate for rehabilitation and a spokesperson for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. In 2013, Perry received the Champion of Recovery Award from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. In 2022, he released his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. He passed away on Oct. 28 2023.


At least one in ten Americans meet the criteria for either alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence; which we now call 'alcohol use disorder."
