Lobliner shares a painful truth – he has witnessed more lives wrecked by alcohol than he can count, with families torn apart, directly or indirectly, by the tragedy of drunk driving. He draws a sharp contrast between the influence of testosterone and the insidious impact of alcohol. No one’s driving under the influence of bench presses, but the same can’t be said for alcohol.
The former bodybuilder highlights the cognitive toll of alcohol – the impaired critical thinking, and the lack of judgment. It’s not just about calling an Uber; it’s about making decisions that can alter lives forever – decisions that lead to STDs, and irreversible mistakes. Lobliner’s call for responsibility isn’t just about preachy sobriety; it’s about recognizing the societal repercussions.

He points to the recent incident involving Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of the football legend. Two weeks before the Super Bowl, Mahomes Sr. was arrested for DUI, shifting the focus from Mahomes Jr.’s athletic prowess to his father’s alcohol-induced misstep. Lobliner questions the glorification of drinking by fitness influencers.
He challenges the community to rise above the allure of shots and partying, emphasizing the need for higher standards. Instead of contributing to a culture that normalizes drinking, he encourages influencers to be mindful of the impact their actions can have on the broader narrative.
