It’s Friday, which means you’re potentially thinking about finishing off a tough week by sucking back some sweet, sweet booze. (I, for one, am wearing a t-shirt depicting a cartoon 40 passed out in his own malt vomit.) But just because you like to get blackfaded, yell along to Kelly Clarkson, and generally do your best to wash away the terror of everyday life in a tidal wave of gin and tonic doesn’t mean you needn’t be responsible.
It’s been three years since the New York Times said that texting while driving is worse than driving drunk, and I can’t imagine that tweeting is any less distracting. So, yeah, you probably shouldn’t do that. But we’re humans, and we have a knack for breaking every bad idea barrier out there. So, as a reminder that nearly 11,000 people died in alcohol-impaired accidents in 2009, here are a bunch of people that tweeted about driving drunk while driving drunk. SMDH.

No shit?
I love the idea of calling yourself out on being dumb while broadcasting it to the world.
Who’s a drunk tweeter? This guy.
I only had seven wine coolers!
“Currently veering off a cliff”
Deer?
Sure, yolo, but not for long.
Who the fuck was this cop?
This one is really emo.
“Taking a crap, reading a magazine, paired”
A voice of reason!
Drinking, driving, and tweeting is still no excuse for sentence fragments.
20 bones says this guy drives an IROC.
Either that’s a typo, or “dears” is the darkest prelude to ghost driving in history.
That’s not a real website.
“Skulling bleach while playing Russian Roulette, YOLO”
“Hey Twitter should I be doing this thing that I don’t think I should be doing?” Hits deer
Another emo one here.
What does the cloud mean?
Inspirational? Call Paramount!
Boom.
