Honestly, this entire list might have been a brilliant idea or just a side effect of sipping something strong on a slow night.
Either way, here we are, with 151 drunk riddles that wobble between clever and completely ridiculous.
Why 151? Because anyone who knows their liquor knows Bacardi 151 was a drink so bold it was practically a dare in a bottle.
That number felt like the perfect tribute for a riddle collection soaked in spirit, literally and figuratively.

Whether you’re sipping wine, downing shots, or nursing a hangover with black coffee, this boozy batch of riddles is here to toast your humor and test your buzzed-up logic.
So grab a glass, or maybe just a comfy spot to laugh in. Things are about to get delightfully unfiltered.
