Tragically, Fake Booze’s drinks cracker jokes are back. Though in our defence, we would like to point out that this is not entirely our fault.
A worryingly large number of you seemed to enjoy this garbage last year. So if you’re an erudite, sophisticated ironist with an understandably low tolerance of wincing puns and enema-inducing wordplay, we can only apologise. But, you know, blame your fellow Fake Booze readers.
Tragically, for the overall quality of global drinks humour some of you have even responded to our desperate request to send in some gags of your own, which means that not only is it here again – it’s bigger and better than ever before.
By which, of course, we mean bigger and worse.
Seriously, there is no upside to this, other than the fact that we only do it once a year and it’s over relatively quickly.
So steel yourself, grab a glass of something strong, take a deep breath and start reading.
