About

Boy It's Just Alcohol, continued You Always Doin' Too Much, It's Just Alcohol, You Actin' Like a Kid, and also known as Boy It's Just Alkahal, refers to a viral video of a white barber (TikToker @choppedbystev0) rubbing an alcohol spray on his customer's forehead who then starts swatting him away. The barber tells him, "Boy, it's just alcohol," with an accent that phonetically sounds like "Iss juh alcaha," "Iss juh alkahaw" or "It's jus alkahal." After going viral on TikTok in 2024, internet users recreated the video and lip dubbed it, making jokes about @choppedbystev0's appearance and accent, as well as the customer's reaction to "just alcohol."
