Blame It On the Alcohol

October 15, 2009 9:22 PM

A doomed beer-run in real time. Surveillance footage (marred by a lulzy soundtrack) shows one man's epic convenience-store journey. Problem: he can't find the floor. (SLYT)

i'm sorry, but this is nowhere near as important or informative as a cop telling some teenager to blow on a pie

My favorite part is: how he can't get up but he won't let go of the twelver. Dude, you look like you need to use that hand.

Okay, I just saw that this was deleted before. But honestly, this is fascinating on so many levels. I'm not mocking the poor drunk man. I really really feel for him. When he goes to put the bowl back on the counter but just... can't... That's the theatre of life, right there.

Okay, fine.

Also, to contradict the people in the other deleted thread that said this looks like ketamine: no waay. I don't think you really wanna get up at all on k...

Though maybe this is a k-circle in a circle-k, and then, well, that's ART innit?

More sad than funny.

I've done stuff this stupid when drunk, and I don't think that makes me a pitiable figure. This is prolonged well into a schadenfreude period of time, but it's still funny imo.

Also, HI COLDCHEF! CONGRATS SOME MORE ON THE SON!

I totally agree. I appreciate that this is long enough to travel back and forth across the sad/funny spectrum. I would really like to rescore it with Gavin Bryar's Jesus Blood Never Failed Me and see how that changes people's response to it.

It's a good thing we sell this in the convenience store and put pot smokers in jail.

Now, imagine if he had actually managed to buy that beer and return home.

He's really doing quite well given his level of intoxication. I mean, the guy's almost legless and he still manages to make it to a convenience store and get a twelver out of the cooler?
What I would do for real audio.

Make no mistake: I immediately forwarded this to all of my friends with the subject line "I'm not DRUNK! YOU'RE the one who is DRUNK!"

Still, sad.

I've always wanted to get into one of these doomed threads, and now I'm here I don't know what to say.

Crap.
