Luke Bryan - Drink A Beer REACTION!

[@hugabug008]

Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in 2000. Seven years later, Luke's sister, Kelly, died suddenly of unknown causes, leaving her husband, Ben, to care for their three children. When Ben passed away seven years after that Luke and his wife took in their two neices and nephew to raise with their own two boys

[@elizabethseals2001]

I was just about to put this out here. You explained it better than I would have. Luke Bryan and his wife are awesome people.

[@chadt1319]

I thought his sister and mother both died?

[@jmdavid6890]

No his mother is still alive and is hilarious! Look at his wife’s Instagram and she’ll be on there.

[@courtenayoeltjen]

See my dad is a dick. He flat out called me and my 3 other siblings a fucking mistake. Who calls there kids a mistake? Like why??? I attempted suicide a week later. I'm still here and doing better but I never got the why he said it from him.

[@k.w.9392]

Courtenay Oeltjen hey don’t try to commit suicide. Fuck him he’s probably a drunk broke bastard. Don’t listen to that worthless piece of shit.

[@southgeorgiaindianrider8981]

That was Luke's brother and sister. They both passed within a year of each other. Luke went on to adopt his nephews as well

[@bigmacbiatch]

Chris Stapleton wrote this song.. lol

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@bigmacbiatch its still dedicated to his siblings... He said it himself

[@shadowsA7Xme27]

Jared Gaudreau ...and...?

[@katiejones8510]

KATHY NOWAK then lost his brother in law and took in his sisters children

[@BlastinAdrian]

@@LewKat74 Luke's brother passed November of 96, Kelly died of a heart attack.

[@anitamorgan9607]

I would be so sad & so happy at the same time if I got to sit right here on the edge of this PCB pier with Luke himself & drank a beer while feeling sad emotions from who’ve I’ve lost & who Luke lost yet be so DAMN happy to be in PCB with Uuuhhhhmmmmm.....Mr fine ass Luke Bryan .....this would be HEAVEN !! Love me some Luke & PCB 2020 💞

[@puff1n2]

That song I love. I lost my 38 year old son on 9/11/2018. And i play that song a lot. It's hard to lose someone you're close to...miss you Roggy

[@stacywest5663]

Me and my best friend Paul always had our “Sunday Fundays”. We would go to different places, eat different foods, try different drinks, watch weird movies, we would go to our favorite bar...there were a few times we ended up going to this over look spot at the lake. The sunsets were always beautiful. We wouldn’t talk. We would just sit. And drink a beer. I always felt like his own spiritual time, as he wasn’t a very spiritually open person. The time spent was some of my favorites ever. He passed away May 24, 2014. His birthday is coming up in 9 days. I’ll probably go back home to visit that spot and drink a beer.

[@toniaburns7486]

I lost my best friend of over 30 years back in October 2021. this song hits me to my heart.

[@berlyn3014]

This song was co-written by Chris Stapleton and yes he does the background vocals. Chris was Luke's older brother killed in a car accident and Kelly was his sister. After Kelly's husband died Luke took in her kids to raise.

[@bridgetsummerfield]

My Grandma Verna passed 1-8-2010 a week before her 80th birthday from cancer. We (my mom, sister, aunt's and cousins) still go to Girl's Weekend for her birthday every year and get the same rooms we had while she was still alive. The same band plays that weekend where we stay and calls their show "Verna's birthday party". My sister got married in May of 2010 and I got married in October of 2010 and we both had her wedding ring with us. I had mine sewn into my dress right above my heart. She was the best lady I've ever known and I can't wait to see her again. ♥️

[@tracyscott1629]

My aunt passed from breast cancer....her & my uncle always used to fish off their pier...(they lived in Florida).....this song helped him get through....

[@rebeccadees458]

That’s awesome you have never tried any substances! This song reminds me of my dad who died 6 yrs ago. I love you and hope you stay blessed.

[@michaelpatton7344]

My mom lost her battle with cancer on mar 4 2016. At her memorial service this song was played. She liked to drink beer out of a glass so we had a toast for her everyone drinking out of a glass in her honor. A couple of days ago I was driving down the road thinking about that (as it's getting close to that anniversary) when I changed the radio and this song came on.

[@mathewmabs210]

This song was playing the day I heard my uncle passed. It was Easter weekend, he was my best friend, not just my uncle. RIP uncle Charlie

[@sunshineness2007]

Luke is amazing 😍

[@toddburgei7631]

Billy, I am a Navy Veteran (1991-2004), and I'm also a unicorn. I have not drank, smoked, or done any drugs. Thanks for your service brother!!

[@FriedBnana]

Totally relatable for me. Back in 2013 I lost my mom, my godfather which was also my uncle, and then my best friend (he was nine years younger than me)...all in a span of 5 months. After talking to my best friends mom, I had found out he was alone and that I had texted him right around the time he was passing away. I can’t listen to this song without shedding a tear.

[@waynemcafee8656]

My friend took his life and so I Raise my beer high to my buddy. RIP Chris Stone.

[@kericasttel5428]

Luke's voice breaking in this broke my heart 🤧😌

[@bipolarbear9952]

I had a good friend named Jay, and this song will always be his to me. He was a postmaster, a youth league umpire and owner of a small karaoke club with his wife. He was an absolutely adoring husband, a loving dad, a great friend and a proud veteran. One morning, he got up, got ready, got on his motorcycle and headed to work at the post office. At an intersection, a teenager who was texting and driving blew through a red light in his big suv. A motorcycle vs an suv. If you're operating a 2,000 pound, flammable object made of glass and metal, put your fucking phone down. Once you've taken a life, you can't take it back. You've rung a bell that you just can't unring. It won't matter if you're sorry, if you didn't mean to, if you just looked away for a split second. Someone is dead solely because of you. A family shattered, a kid's life ruined, his family's lives torn apart. Just don't fucking do it. The cost is immeasurable.

[@jennifercload9390]

I relate so well to this not because O lost siblings who are all thankfully still alive but my dad. My family from his side live in Southern Illinois. My dad always took me fishing. I was young so obviously didnt drink a beer with him in those days but we would sit on a pier and fish and watch sunsets together. As well as sunrises. And even Though I grew up in Chicago, I was a city girl loving country music my whole life.

[@bradmcdaniel3163]

I was 19, 32 now I'm actually from leesburg GA. Home of Luke. Anyway I got into a wreck at 19 and my best friend didn't make it. I dont remember anything. This song when it came out spoke to me and got me threw some hard times. Luke and his wife Caroline are amazing people. Chris and Kelly are his siblings that have passed. Luke's brother Chris died in a car accident in the 90's. Luke's sister Kelly, we believe had a brain hemorrhage, but no one really knows.

[@coltonoliver6564]

“Brothers” by Dean Brody. You being a veteran will greatly appreciate the song. Thank you for your service!

[@ambersefcik8835]

I agree, that song is underrated.

[@rich_m88]

Absolutely. Cant believe I haven't thought of this one. Great choice.

[@1989ericdeboer]

my wife cries every time she hears this song

[@valeries2037]

I still love that Chris does the background vocals for this... writers singing their own songs make me the happiest lol

[@susannegaze3992]

It hits home I lot my son almost 2 years ago Yes I under stand this song Deeply💔

[@loraharvey6740]

Extremely relatable. Nicky and I met at this little bar and grill. It become our place. So yes extremely relatable.

[@tbear226]

This hits home I had a friend from Jr high through highschool into adulthood she was one I could depend on she stayed through my low times a 🧠 anyeusm took her.

[@beargomez2423]

I totally believe you about you not drinking, smoking, etc...and my hat goes off to you! Regarding Luke....he is one of the most beloved country artist out there. His music is awesome and his songs..especially the ones that have true meaning to him and are about his family are just perfect. He is loves his family and his fans!!! Chris is his brothers who died and a few years later Chris’s wife passed and then Luke and his wife took the children in and our raising them with there own children as there own. Also, I just want to say to whomever could possibly thumbs down this song or video is HEARTLESS!!

[@leannajohnson4494]

I have an aunt that passed away a couple of years ago due to a brain aneurysm. It was very sudden. My dad (who I haven’t spoken too in 3 years) decided not to tel me about her death until 2 1/2 weeks later. It was horrible. I wasn’t super close to her but to be honest she was the only kind, responsible, caring adult in that family. This song was fairly new and still pretty popular when that happened and I’ve always felt a connection to it. It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone

[@Chaboygin]

Oh my god this song is so relatable for me and here's why. When I was about 9 years old, my favorite grandpa who has been for me all my life and always found a way to get a smile on my face told me after giving a motorcycle ride that once I was old enough to get my drivers license, we'll go get my bikers license together and ride together. So now last year starting in march I took the drivers ed class and was eligible to get my drivers license in September. It got postponed due to going out of town for things here and there and we finally found a day on November 21st of 2019. I was so excited because I had plans to call my grandpa that day to tell him I passed my drivers test and we'll be able to go biking together just like he said when I was 9. But it turns out he himself passed away on the 20th of November, a day before I was scheduled for my drivers test. I've never cried so hard before in my life (I'm even crying as I'm writing this). Just knowing that I will never see him again and I'll never have a chance to ride with him together is the worst feeling ever. I miss you grandpa. After he passed away we went up to his house and started clearing it out (my grandma passed away the same year in February so it was empty). We found a picture of him wearing his motorcycle jacket. I told my mom that I want that jacket to remember him, we almost couldn't find it and in the last place we looked, there it was, on his motorcycle in the garage. I cried when I put it on the first time because I just missed him that badly. I want people to go ahead and spend time with your elders when you can because even though we're in a shitty situation with the coronavirus, your grandparents still love you a ton and always will. Please call them because time will stop one day and you'll regret everything you didn't do with them.

[@jessicamigasi5026]

Love this song. So can relate.

[@benharris2490]

It does me. Not for the songs words but right after my dad's funeral. I started my truck and it played.

[@briandaugherty1247]

Love that song.

[@timc4876]

Hey this song makes me cry every time

[@robertkennedy7527]

My best friend’s dad the day before my birthday. I grew up without a dad and he kind of filled those shoes. He included me in everything that he did with his boys. About 5 years later my best friend his second son died. He was a Corpsman with Fleet Marine For e during Desert Storm and got exposed to something over there. It took a toll on his body, but never his spirt. I cry when I hear this song and think of them.

[@JOshj5hawk]

I love that you managed to pick out Stapleton singing with Luke.

[@cindyphifer970]

My favorite Luke song

[@justindufresne5805]

I relate to this song due to Luke Bryan being my brothers favorite country artist. He passed away in 2015.

[@MichaelHale448]

That was Chris Stapleton, he wrote the song!

[@bigmacbiatch]

Thank you!! Everyone keeps saying it's about Luke's family and he didnt even write it

[@CG-xi2ok]

Jared Gaudreau it was about luke, his sister died right before this song came out, even though Chris wrote it, it was still about luke

[@CG-xi2ok]

Jared Gaudreau they also co wrote the song it wasn’t just Chris he just helped write it

[@bigmacbiatch]

Luke didnt write the lyrics at all. Jim beavers wrote the chorus and chris wrote most of the rest.

[@bigmacbiatch]

Where do you even get your information? Lol theres so many articles that prove luke did not write it. Just released it because of his family situation. Still goes with how he felt but he didnt write it

[@suzannezethner8180]

Luke Bryan is an Angel on this earth.

[@ksmith7901]

Yes, very relatable.

[@stratoblaster8074]

I can relate, my best friend died of cancer in 2011 at age 31. Would love to sit on the pier and have a beer with him now

[@Mistilou]

I still am a crybaby when it comes to this song!!! Miss you brother💔

[@kimberlierusk2136]

I miss my brother too. Life will never be the same.

[@ethanscott5837]

This is related to me because my Grandfather passed away from a bike crash incident with the police and it broke my heart in two to hear that he died😢

[@GMWILD87]

So relatable.

[@nicolelylewis]

“Rain is a good thing” and “home alone tonight” by Luke :)

[@chriswheeler1283]

I lost my brother and niece in a fire...this song makes me cry every time!! Chris and Kelly were his siblings

[@amyhelms2065]

This song is so very relateble

[@loraharvey6740]

Extremely extremely relatable

[@allyssastafford3146]

Love your reactions and you are too funny 💘

[@0NoeNoe]

My brother passed away last month from a heart attack. That night a bunch of his Marine buddies raised them up all night to his memory.

[@wallpopkh]

Scars to your beautiful- Alessia Cara If I die young-The Band Perry First man- Camila Cabello this song with bring out all the emotions I promise! Die from a broken heart -Maddie and Tae Better together-Luke Combs I don’t dance-Lee Brice Amnesia- 5 Seconds of Summer Please do these songs!!

[@LadyGator1983]

Oh, it’s relatable!!! It’s very hard!

[@footloosewill5569]

the guy behind luke in the cowboy hat is chris stapleton. he wrote this song and i would highly reccomend you listen to his version. its awesome

[@SpyderWebbedHawk]

Knew the moment I saw the title that BYSE was coming out. Beautiful song.

[@kevanglosson7623]

When my I found out my brother died this song came on when I was driving to work I had to pull over and just let my emotions out thank you Luke

[@renofoster1052]

This is one of the songs I listened to when my sister was dying of cervical cancer

[@nspd2]

Yes that is Chris Stapleton, who is actually the one who wrote this song. He lost his father about the same time that Luke Bryan lost the last one of his siblings. He asked Chris to come sing this song, and after asking him he told him that he should not even ask due to his dad dying. Someone may have told you all this before but figured I would say the same again. hope this helps. Plus this song has huge dealings with me and my fallen buddies and friends and family. Wish it had come out a few years ago but it fits all the times in the past when I lost friends.

[@benharris2490]

When this song first came out. I was leaving my father's funeral and this song started on the radio. So my song to my Dad.

[@neerdowell6687]

I had a similar thing with the song "You Should Be Here" it was my sisters favorite but still pretty new she passed and if we turned on the radio it was always on. She was 23, passed away during a seizure, so it really hit hard and I still cry hearing that song.

[@kytown4248]

Yes that was Chris Stapleton behind Luke. Chris' career exploded after this performance.

[@EdNJohnson]

Great song

[@zaners1353]

I remember drinking on the deck at the river, remembering all the time I had been with my boyfriend. It was the day after my 19th birthday, and I had to get away, because he had just killed himself. Never going to forget my 19th birthday nor the day after, because I remember this song coming on the radio, and just breaking down. Fast forward 9 years later, and I just had a friend lose all memory of me because of a ton of seizures. I am still dealing with this kind of stuff, and it still hurts.

[@ethangospodareck4716]

So glad you caught Chris Stapleton in the back too. I just noticed it after all these times watching this.

[@josiahmerz357]

My dad died back in May, 2019. In service to his country. The USAF has taken him clear on the other side of the country on important intel work, when on the way back, he died in a car wreck. And right now it don’t make sense. I can’t make it all make sense. Funny how the good ones go. Always too soon, but only the good Lord knows why. Yes. I’ve always loved the story and poignancy behind the words. I have memories attached to them, thanks to the time it came out on the radio. But the picture’s so much more stark now. I’m crying as I watch this, because as much as I resent my dad’s service and what the military took from my family....he was my dad. My abba. We never did drink beer together (I was underage mostly...I’m only now 26). But we had some dang good times. I love you, dad.

[@dauddysdream]

I'm so sorry for your loss. February 24th will be 3 years without my dad who also was in the USAF. There is a gaping hole in my heart and families, that will never be repaired here on earth. He was 58,but I thank the Lord he was in my life as long as he was. He was a remarkable man, as I'm sure your father was. I have worn waterproof mascara everyday since he died because you never know when the pain of the loss will hit, but we have to be greatful to have had them in our lives. My deepest condolences to you and your family. ❤🇺🇸

[@marnan76]

My father passed in 2022 and this was the song my brother picked for my sisters to play at his services. My brother is an Army Vet

[@fales8]

100% relate........those 2 are his brother and sister

[@benharris2490]

Well brother I commented before this was my song that reminds me of my dad who didn't drink. Now my mom has passed. She didn't drink either. I believe the drink a beer is meaning sit down and talk, fish, or whatever y'all did together. So this is now the one that I think of for both my parents.

[@flatfootphotography1773]

This hits me hard, in October of last year I lost my mom to metastatic breast cancer after a yr and half battle.

[@tylorstetson5751]

I can really relate to this song

[@camocountry3960]

Awe that's great I'm proud of Billy not many people can say they don't drink or smoke..your amazing

[@tinamorgan3311]

Yes it is Chris and this is one of his best!!

[@alexstrazza4068]

100% can relate to this song!! I think about my friends everyday and to this day still don't know why!! I also don't drink/smoke and I'm 29 years old, never have and never will!!!

[@lisafloyd9147]

Luke Bryan knockin boots!

[@JD-bv2ht]

Laid one of brothers to rest with this song. RIP CISCO GBNF FBBF

[@ellenhunt8767]

I don't know anyone who wouldn't relate. I've experienced a lot of loss over the last 10 years so my new routine is to go out somewhere where I am a regular and have a glass of wine or a mixed drink ( something that is low alcoholic content and designed for enjoying with food or sipping slowly rather than getting drunk off of ) best we can do is make the best of what we got. Like Home Free says ' How Do You want to Remember This.'

[@garyglass7406]

I've lost some friends in the past few years that makes this song hit home. Addiction rarely ends well and the wake it leaves behind is painful.

[@kaciedahmer5111]

I just subscribed to your channel and love your reaction videos

[@nancydoney7203]

This is a true song he wrote this song when he lost and brother and sister he is now raising his sister kids cause her husband died and yes that is Chris Stapleton I can relate cause when I lost my husband I did this and yes myself this every day

[@tylermorey7573]

My friend overdosed in April. This song is the only thing keeping me together

[@kellyrios4448]

My mom died in 2015 at 1215 and I actually did this went to the pier and cried my heart out. And the song is about his brother and sister

[@HarleyMan28]

Yes i lost my big brother in 2015 and i still feel like that

[@debbiefujioka]

That was for his brother and sister. Who both passed. Luke is now raising his sister's kids

[@Jarodjackson1998]

Not exactly a beer but me and a fellow firefighter I worked with used to always hit the bar after shift. He would always by the same thing every time, a shot of Jim Beam. He was killed by a distracted driver while we worked a car accident. I still go after shift, I order one for him and I let it sit in the seat next to me until I leave. I ain’t gonna put his name up KZbin but I’ll never forget you brother

[@miketorres7550]

My best friend jus passed away Tuesday this song is for him.

[@zionhutchcraft]

About 5 months ago I was playing in my 3A football Elite 8 game of the playoffs. Every time I looked in the crowd I saw my friends sister Holly and her best friend Jenna. We got destroyed that game which would make that mine and 20 other seniors last game. So after the game we were all crying knowing it would be our last game. On the way back word had got around that there had been a wreck about 20 minutes outside of our hometown. We didn’t know who was involved or how bad it was. It turned out to be Holly, Jenna, and Jenna’s grandparents on their back from the game. At that point no one cared about the game we had just lost. Life is so precious and it can all be taken away so fast. Holly and Jenna were freshman at my school and i’ve spoken to Holly a few times but never really knew her. She was always nice and funny just like her sister (my friend Morgan). I still think of Holly and I wish we wouldn’t have won the second round game so the wreck wouldn’t have happened. There’s a different hurt when you weren’t able to say goodbye and one day I’ll see her again. #WePlayForHollyAndJenna

[@zionhutchcraft]

every time I hear this song it makes me think of them two and makes me break down everytime. they’ll both be in my heart forever.

[@benharris2490]

Yes my dad died and got in my car to leave this song came on. So kinda been that song ever since. Nowy mom is close I believe. Sad time but drink a 🍻

[@meganmccreary3936]

His brother passed. Later his sister passed not long after his sister his brother in law passed too. Him and his amazing wife then took in his nieces and nephew.

[@_jonasdirection_6974]

Thank you for your service ❤️

[@jutreyuraynebrocklesby7099]

Fun fact : Luke wrote this song about this brother ; the father of his nephews that he adopted

[@stevecelmer6690]

I can definitely relate to this song after losing my father and brother

[@Nicoleemariaaa]

This song will always hold a special part of my heart. After two months of my grandfathers health getting worse my sister and I were driving to go visit him. We had just over an hour to go and we’re going through mountains with no service. We both looked at each other and said we felt weird. When we got out of the mountains less than 10 min later we got the call that he had passed. Immediately after this song came on the radio. It’s been 6 years now and I miss him everyday.

[@antoniogarcia5081]

This is the song I played for my best friend when I found out he wasn't going to recover from his stroke. Listening to it always takes me back there.

[@RealBelisariusCawl]

As an enthusiast of both alcohol, tobacco, and … legal-in-my-state substances … RESPECT for keeping yourself clean. Like, again, I love these chemicals but going your whole life with the dedication to say “fuck you, I’m gonna be me” in spite of the massive social pressures … THAT’S something that takes real grit. Edit: Hell yeah this song is relatable. My mum and I used to go fishing all the time, and when I was old enough we’d sit out by the lake and drink beers together. She died after three years of fighting like hell in 2015. Ovarian cancer. Every time I tie a hook, I remember her teaching me how to do it. Every time I reel in a big fish, I can hear her cheering me on and telling me that I’m doing well. When the sun sets and there’s nothing left that I can hear but crickets and bats over the placid lake waves, it’s almost like she’s just a couple feet away from me in the dark, silently enjoying the night. I love you Mum. I miss you. I can’t wait to see you again in Christ’s kingdom.

[@andrewmitchell9730]

Drunk on you - Luke Bryan!! First country song I listened too

[@cyndisue62]

This song came out right after my 50 year old brother was killed by a drunk driver... she had no license, insurance, repeat (aaaaaaaand repeat offender) etc... it was a beautiful, sunny March afternoon (3:30pm).

[@marthaalvarran7746]

Lost my best friend and so relatable

[@lc52071]

This is for my friend that took his own life I know so many more that have done the same. Thank you for this!

[@jennifersadlowski562]

This song reminds me of my big brother who committed suicide 9 year's ago and the love of my life who died 7 year's ago. Alot of good memorie's drinking beer and hanging out with them. I miss them so much. Your comment about drinking and never smoking made me smile. That's awesome. You're not missing out on anything.

[@beccacomeau1046]

My Husband Jake can really relate to this song. After he lost a close friend of his several years ago. In a DUI accident him and his friend were involved in. With a drunk driver

[@jennifergray3345]

I can relate to this song! I don't think another person alive can make you feel this song like Luke! My heart goes out to him! God Bless you!💯💯💯

[@bgjones973]

This was the first song I heard after being told over the phone that my grandmother passed away. Still makes me cry every time

[@eduardogonzalez0067]

Oh bro , so sorry.

Don't worry Billy. I'm like you. Never drank smoke did drugs or did anything like that. One of the few things I'm actually proud of myself. I'm a unicorn just like you. Ps i recommend: Josh Turner- Long Black Train
