About
Three Drinks Later is an image macro series in which photographs of well-known extremists and radicals are juxtaposed beneath the caption "me: i promise i won't get all political / 3 drinks later" as a way to poke fun at one's tendency to engage in emotionally charged political debate when inebriated.
Origin
The first known variation of the post appeared on September 11th, 2016, featuring an image of well-known communist Vladimir Lenin as the punchline. It appeared on the Facebook page of @SarcasticDragonite[2] that day. A screenshot of a Facebook post using the image and its ensuing thread was posted to /r/iamverysmart[1] by Cerberus73 the same day. The post gained 69 points.
Spread
In the following days, the image inspired variations depicting artistic renderings of different political scenes with the caption, before evolving to include humorous pop culture references, other memes, and snowclone variations. On October 6th, Stackward[3] posted a compilation of some of the best "3 Drinks Later" jokes.
