We're not exaggerating when we say that 2020 made us all want to drink a little more. There are statistics to prove it. And now that 2021 is off to a great start we're kind of stuck in the same place. While alcohol might not be the answer to the year's problems or our life problems, there's something to be said about its ability to let us relax and enjoy a little peace and quiet. These drunk memes celebrate the fun sides of booze, as well as the unintentionally hilarious moments of regret that come with it.

It should be known by now that we enjoy mocking other people's misfortune - and as schadenfreude goes, these amusing tales are pretty lighthearted. When Twitter user @lillyannatrnr shared a facepalm-worthy serving anecdote from her boyfriend's past, we're willing to bet she didn't think she was starting a thread of epic proportions. But his ignorance regarding creme fraiche and the laughs that followed inspired other users to share their own food-service and grocery work blunders. The result? A massive thread of funny fails and punny verbal comedy. We've picked out some of the better gems for you, but you can see more hilarity at the thread itself.

Perusing r/AskReddit is often enlightening and educational, but this post from today got us especially good. One curious user asked bartenders on the subreddit to share their weirdest work stories - and they do not disappoint. Now, more than ever, we salute the people who give us alcohol and tolerate all of our crazy.
