There's plenty of jokes in there, but this just makes me sad as hell.

Man, that beer must've been HEAVY.

The commenters on Reddit thought the gentleman might have had a bit of Special K before going on the beer run.

Note that he failed to get more beer. That's the definition of too drunk.

He's totally on some dissociative like ketamine or dxm or something. That ain't no alkyhol!

My friend said "He's got a bad case of Gravity"

Notice how he reacts to light -- the cooler lights are intense, the door he reacts to...

How'd he get there is what i wanna know.

Also, I think he looks a lot like my friend, I may have to check up on him.

The definition of a drinking problem.

I used to see these guys on my way to work when I lived in MN. They'd always be that wrecked. I could never figure out how they could manage to do this my 8 a.m. My roommate cleared it up, pointed out they were still going from the night before.

I once saw a guy like this, the clerk refused to see him more beer, so he got in his car and drove to the bar 7 miles away. I trailed him, trying to call for the cops. 911 gave me to the city my cell service was out of. They dropped me to the cops in the closest town who told me it was the Sherif's job. I yelled at that guy and said, "I hope he doesn't kill someone while you are trying to figure out whose fucking job I am doing!"

In the end, he made it to the bowling alley before any cops saw hi driving. When confronted he denied it, even though I'd called in his plates and followed him all the way there.

This said, I want a "weak sauce" tag. I mean this is funny in a LOLdrunks sort of way, but I don't think it's the best fit for here.

Except in a few instances, like at the end, he's got 2 or 3 more gravity vectors going on than the rest of us.

It's worth watching til the end btw. The bowl-clutching denouement is unsurpassed.

Bogus? Carefully recorded and edited tape? Excellent clarity and mobility for surveillance tape.

I actually think he's moving from alcohol related fuddlement to vertebrae related paralysis when he hits that shelf at the end.

I work with video and I'm pretty sure it's digital video source, and of a quality that's merely decent. You can buy surveillance cameras at Microcenter that are at least that good. I'd want that much coverage in my convenience store-- they get robbed frequently.

What it really reminds me of is a turtle flipped over on its back. Gotta give him credit for determination though.

He even tries to put the bowl back on the counter at the very end of the video.

How do we know that this isn't a floating store on rough seas and the employees are just used to it.

Seriously though, no amount of alcohol does that too you. He definitely added something else to the mix.

I love how he tries to play it cool when the guy notices him over the counter, like he's just chilling on the floor for a minute.
