Can’t make it out to happy hour? You’ve always got the internet to keep you company while you’ve got a drink in your hand. Specifically Zoom, the video platform which has surged in popularity and found itself host to an unexpected array of makeshift online bars and parties.
It’s a phenomenon probably nobody would have predicted, but here we are. And Twitter is talking about it. A LOT.
14. Come on and Zoom

4. Blanket statements
Hey, to each their own.
In case you’re wondering how the quarantine is going, tonight I got wine drunk on zoom & bought myself a $60 tank top & then bought my friend a blanket with Adam Driver’s face on it because you can’t put a price in comedic gold.

3. Cried and prejudice
When there’s nobody to hang out with in the afterglow.
I got drunk on a zoom call and now have nothing to do but I’m still drunk so I guess it’s probably time to watch pride and prejudice for the 12th time and maybe cry???? Let see!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

2. Internal clocks
According to my watch, it’s tomorrow.
According to my Fitbit, the last time I fell asleep before 4am in the last three weeks is when I got blackout drunk on a zoom call. #QuarantineLife

I guess this counts as trying out some new things?

Maybe this trend will become the new normal. If so, I’d like to claim a position as a virtual bartender. I won’t actually serve anybody drinks but I’ll take a rag and constantly wipe down my desk while saying things like “tell me about it” and “livin’ the dream!” I feel like that’s a service that needs to be filled, no matter the circumstance.
Have you had a drunk Zoom time?
