Here's the story - with the cell phone video - from TMZ:
For those of you who think it may not be a good idea to be drinking and out late during Super Bowl week, remember that the game is on Sunday. Not sure when this video was taken, but as the game gets closer, these guys will have curfews and will be more closed off to the public, so they're trying to get out while they can.
TMZ may be exaggerating the "booze" portion of the story, but based on the video and the reports, Roethlisberger seemed to be under control and well behaved. Not sure who the Pittsburgh Steelers teammates are that were with Ben, although one of them is prominent in the video.

TMZ has obtained FOOTAGE of the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback [Ben Roethlisberger] hanging out at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar in Fort Worth Texas ... where he sang his face off from 11:00 PM until 1:15 AM the next morning.
Sources inside the bar tell us Big Ben arrived with two massive teammates -- and bought several rounds of drinks for himself AND the entire bar.
We're told Ben racked up an $800 tab -- and tipped an additional $200. People inside the bar tell us Ben was "nice, fun and took care of everyone."
In the clip, Ben can be seen singing along to the Billy Joel classic "Piano Man" while his teammates joined in on the fun.
