He wouldn't have (possibly) smoked PCP with a star of Saturday Night Live. And he wouldn't have been named the Number One Partier in the Nation by Rolling Stone, inspired the movie National Lampoon's Van Wilder, or performed standup to sellout crowds across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories Kreischer shares in \u003ci\u003eLife of the Party\u003c\/i\u003e are a guidebook on how not to grow up.
