A video posted on October 14, 2009, to Break.com and YouTube depicts a clearly intoxicated man attempting to purchase beer at a convenience store. The man proceeds to lose his balance, fall repeatedly against walls and store displays and generally fail in the mission of carrying his purchase from the cooler up to the cashier to pay.
The footage is taken from one of the store's surveillance cameras, which indicate that it was shot on October 6, 2009 at 10:47 am.

Within a few days of the "beer purchase" videos appearance, a different video, featuring a drunk man carrying a bag, also appeared on YouTube.
Videos featuring intoxicated individuals have long been popular online, particularly when they involve celebrities. Popular examples include videos featuring an intoxicated Danny DeVito, a clip of Diane Sawyer drunk following the inauguration of President Obama and a parody of an Apple commercial in which actor Jeff Goldblum appears to slur his words.
