Joe Rogan announces

Joe Rogan recently revealed that he has quit drinking alcohol, following a similar path to former U.S. President Donald Trump. On a podcast episode with comedian Ron White, Rogan explained that his decision wasn’t due to any particular incident but rather a realization that alcohol isn’t good for his body. Despite having enjoyed drinking, he found the after-effects too harsh and questioned why someone so focused on health would regularly poison himself. He also shared that he still has just as much fun without alcohol.

White, who also gave up drinking, credited ayahuasca—a powerful psychoactive plant from the Amazon—for helping him stop. The two joked that they haven’t quit all substances, indicating their openness to alternatives. Trump, meanwhile, has long abstained from alcohol, citing the tragic death of his brother, Fred Trump Jr., from alcohol-related causes, as his motivation. Trump has publicly urged people not to drink, suggesting that avoiding alcohol likely saved his own life.
