Matt Berninger of The National drunk at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC

[TheWormies]

he went through a few bottles of wine when we saw him too. if it's true that he needs to get drunk to get through a show then i hope he will learn to get over that. anyone who's lived with alcoholism knows there's nothing cool or rebellious about it at all, just slow destruction. as a big fan of his and the band i hope he gets a handle on it.

poor guy has really bad stage fright apparently. Thats why hes always drunk on stage

@Pakidude Uhhhh I don't think he's aiming for 'cool or rebellious'...

[lituplight]

he's always grabbing people when he sings this song!!! he did the same thing in london royal albert hall!

SO psyched you got this on video. I was that guy he grabbed before bending down to sing "I WON'T FUCK US OVER--I'M MR. NOVEMBER!" to my girlfriend next to me. One of my favorite concert moments ever.

Haha, yeah, that was an intense show. I thought he was going to topple over onto us. Awesome night!
