You know, alcoholics are the funniest people!

Whether you’re laughing hilariously at their outrageous stories at the bar, cacking yourself at the unfortunate accidents they’re always having, or laughing your way back to sanity in meetings, you will never find a funnier cohort.

Any joke that starts with, A priest, a rabbi and a monk walk into a bar”, has got to make you wet your pants. Seriously!
