IF YOU HAVE been on the internet at all over the past few years, you have probably stumbled across this photo at some point.

The photo shows three friends at a wedding after having had, shall we say, a few beverages.

Since then, it has been meme-ified beyond recognition and accompanied by captions that read “LOL OMG DRUNK FAIL”.

Now a photo has surfaced showing the gals before the infamous photo was taken.

Wait for it…

The photo was uploaded to Reddit and has been viewed over 3,000,000 times.

As for the women in the photograph?

A Reddit user claiming to know one of the women said they’re grand with being the faces of drunkenness on the internet.

I know the girl on the left. She is not embarressed at all. They are proud that the pic went viral. Every time it surfaces again a friend posts it to FB. Also, the pic is not because they are trashed, they a doing shakey face. They are prob trashed too :)

Tip: don’t do the “shakey face” anywhere near a camera this weekend.
