David Burtka, the husband of Neil Patrick Harris, said he's no longer drinking.
The 41-year-old actor-turned-celeb chef told the NY Daily News on Wednesday that he recently quit boozing, because 'it just didn't mix well' with him anymore.
'That's a big thing ... I didn't like the way I was acting and I think it was affecting me and I thought, "You know what? I owe it to myself, I owe it to my kids, to be there, 100 percent,"' the Dearborn, Michigan native told the paper at the Food Bank's Can-Do Awards.

Burtka, who's been seen on American Horror Story: Freak Show, explained to the publication that he doesn't have the type of personality prone to doing things in moderation.
'I just think that, I'm not one of those people that can just have one drink or two drinks,' said Burtka, who met Harris, 43, on the set of How I Met Your Mother 13 years ago.
