Alcoholism is no laughing matter – except when it is

We do a lot of features here on Matador Nights about drinking. We like to let you know where to drink and what to drink and even how to drink. Now we’re going to tell you how not to drink.

Like this.

If you can’t stand the misery, I suggest skipping ahead the the three minute mark.

Thank you for posting this. I’ll be thinking of this guy when I’m facedown in a platter of nachos tonight.

Getting drunk is overrated, expensive, unhealthy, stupid and regretful.

Thank you for the insight, Kevin.

All I have to say is thank god he left that store empty handed. If you can’t stand up in a liquor store it’s safe to say you should probably be cut off.
Katie Hammel

I’m hoping this video was produced, otherwise I have to wonder: how did he get home? If he couldn’t even stand up in the store, let’s hope he didn’t walk outside and get in his car or try walking down the street where he could have wandered into traffic.

Probably had a police escort to the hoosegow.

I think I’ve seen this guy in Montréal’s gay village.

Or maybe it was me?

This clip is certainly painful to watch. It’s worth noting, though, that the man in the video was reported as having been high on ether–an alcohol, true, but not the kind of alcohol we typically read about here on Matador (let’s hope!).

That’s really creepy to watch without the sound. When he’s stuck by the six-pack, I just really want him to grab the fridge handle and pull himself up. I keep hoping he he will…

I started by laughing and then I just gaped in horror. This was worse than a laughing matter – this was just painful!

This made me laugh so hard, i had to close my office door so people thought I was still doing work.
the yakety sax remix is also brilliant.
