Alcohol Jokes Go Well Shaken Or Stirred

By Marisol Guy


Laughter and humor make the world a much brighter place and without them it would be dark. People are drawn to many different kinds of humor and comedy, and some people like more high class humor while others are fine with potty humor or even a few alcohol jokes every so often. There are no rights or wrongs in comedy as people have different tastes and preferences and find varying things to be funny.

Many people enjoy telling stories or coming up with situations that are aimed at making people laugh. There are different kinds of humor and genres of joke telling, such as short stories, puns, and question-answers. All sorts of people, situations, and subjects can be the butt of a joke, sometimes this may not make that particular group happy, but it is still quite common.

The actual subject and genres are nearly unending and can include age, hobbies, sexual preference, race, weight, occupation, religion, and gender. If it is a lifestyle or human trait, it can and has been turned into a funny or comedic tale. Comedians are those who want to make people laugh for a living and they stand before audiences with the one goal of making them laugh.

A category of humor that many people know jabs and stories relating to is the world of alcoholic and adult beverages. These are often short and to the point and most people who spend time drinking in bars or pubs know at least one good joke to tell their friends. The vast majority of jabs have to do with different brands or types of drinks.

Just a few of the actual brands of beverages that show up in joke form are Stoli, Budweiser, Captain Morgan, Jameson, Coors Light, and Jack Daniels. These are brands of whisky, tequila, vodka, rum, and beer. Additionally, there are genres of puns and jabs relating to types of drinks, like margaritas, martinis, breezers, and more.

Because the bar culture is often one of comradery and relaxation, people tend to bond with one another over funny stories. It makes sense that those in a bar or pub would tell all of the drink stories and funny tales that they know. It is also often due to the fact that when most people drink they let their guard down and have a little more fun than they normally would if they were not drinking adult beverages.

In the drinking community there are certain brands and types of beverages which are considered masculine or feminine. A large source of funny jabs comes when someone, usually a male, orders a drink that may not be that masculine. A brand's quality is also the butt of many tales and jabs.

Alcohol jokes are just one of the many genres or types of funny stories and jabs that people repeat to try and make others laugh. While they may not be appropriate to tell everywhere, there is a time and place. Many people tell them on nights out with friends at a pub or bar and there is not a better place.
