He's the founder of Alchoholics Anonymous, and that 12 Step Program has become the basis of other 12 Step groups, like Overeaters Anonymous, etc.

He is the founder of AA and I guess he has so many friends because there are so many alcoholics in the world. Budweiser and Jack Daniels have made their product look so good to people that many lives have been ruined by it.

"I'm a friend of Bill W." is basically code for "I belong to Alcoholics Anonymous" so that members can support each other without having to ask, "Hey, are you an alcoholic, too?"
