In case you didn't go hard enough over July 4th weekend, we got you covered with the best drinking games we compiled from Twitter this week. The thing about drinking games is that you can always get more creative. When it comes to partying, the limit does not exist. We haven't personally tried any of these yet, so let us know if they get way too out of hand too quickly. Scroll down for our fave from this week, and remember to drink responsibly. 

Hot girl summer is here, which means long drunken weekends, and hangovers galore. We know how it goes; you tell yourself you won't go as hard as you did last time because you can't keep waking up with your head in the toilet with no idea how you got home from the club. But somehow, it's next time, and you're waking up with your head in the toilet AGAIN, unable to piece together the night before. You have hazy memories of a cute guy, way too many tequila shots, and spilling your life story to the Uber driver, but you could be confusing it with last time. If this sounds familiar in any way, these memes will speak to you in a way that only an alcoholic-in-denial will understand.

It's no secret that the stars dictate our lives, from job promotions to friendships to sex lives. Obviously, hot girl summer calls for a helluva lot of partying, and drunchies (read: drunk food cravings) are inevitable to follow. Because the cosmos call the shots about literally everything, it makes sense that our deepest food cravings would be inexplicably tied to our horoscope. Because science, b*tch. In conclusion, you're entitled to scarf down the following drunchies all summer because the zodiac says so. You're welcome. 

Drinking is such a fun power trip. We seriously feel like we're on top of the world when we're drunk. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and if you fail at drinking responsibly, you'll end up with a horrible hangover. Nothing is worth feeling and looking like sh*t in the morning. NOTHING. The drinkers of Twitter know the consequences of heavy drinking all too well. In the tweets below, they speak the truth. Let these tweets serve as a cautionary tale for your next big night out. 

Wild nights out at the club are generally fueled by alcohol, but you know what else it fuels? Super embarrassing drunk texts. The thing is, you'll only realize how embarrassing the texts are once you wake up painfully hungover and mortified the next day. It'll be too late to take it back once the light of day hits, and there's nothing you could do except wallow in your embarrassment. We dug up a Reddit thread from 8 years ago about the worst drunk texts people have sent, and damn, people in the last decade really went hard. Have you sent out worst drunk texts than the ones listed below? 

Nights out on the town with your bestest buds are meant to be a grand time. There's nothing I loved more in college than Turnup Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday. I mean, God bless the weekend, am I right? However, there are definitely nights that get out of hand, especially at nightclubs. A Redditor started a thread about the craziest sh*t people have seen go down at nightclubs, and if you think you've seen it all, then you haven't seen this thread. The more I read, the more my eyes widened in disbelief. Scroll on down for the wildest nights out people have seen or experienced firsthand. 

If you're a true wine fan, then one glass of Rosé just doesn't cut it anymore. No way, Rosé. You need the hard stuff, especially since it's the end of the weekend and another Monday is looming in sight. They say a glass of wine at dinner helps prevent heart attacks (or something like that), but what about a glass of wine to help deal with your crazy boss, your demanding kids, or just general life when things get a bit too much? I'm not advocating alcoholism of course, but I am saying the winos know what's up. So pour a glass of your favorite wine, pull up a chair, and dig into this smooth collection of wine memes. 

Everybody loves drinking, and everybody loves playing games (especially the men in your life), so the only logical result is putting the two together and creating drinking games! Duh! It's been scientifically proven that if coworkers would play games on a weekly basis, the vibes that at the office would be way better. I don't make the rules - I just state them as fact. The people of Twitter have taken to the platform to share their hilarious drinking game experiences and ideas. Scroll on down to get some inspiration this weekend. 

Drinking games are a rite of passage. There's nothing like alcohol and a sprinkle of competition to get the party going. As long as you're drunk, you're winning, so what's the difference? Drinking games don't have such strict roles because that's the nature of anything involving alcohol. Anything goes! As a result, the people of Twitter have taken to the platform to share their very own drinking games, and they get hella creative and funny. Scroll down to steal some of their ideas for your own weekend plans. 

White Claw has become an iconic summer staple in the US of A. The sparkling hard seltzer that comes in many different flavors has captured all our hearts. Since being stuck in our homes, it has become a staple in our lives all year round. Some might say it's a pretty toxic relationship because this sweet, innocent beverage can have you out of control before you can stop yourself from consuming more of its sparkling goodness. People have taken to Twitter to document their love-hate relationship with The Claw. If you've had one too many White Claws, you'll definitely relate to the hilarious tweets below. 

Getting drunk is a jolly good time. There's nothing like letting loose with a drink after a long day/week/month of diligence. Do you know what's not exactly a jolly good time? Coming to terms with what you sent people while intoxicated. While modern technology allows us to communicate with people at the simple swipe of a button, we don't always have the luxury of taking back what we sent. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but then again, pretty much everything seems like a good idea while drunk. Scroll down for the funniest texts, videos, and pictures people on Twitter have sent while drunk. 

My favorite aspect of wedding season is the flurry of bachelorette parties that comes with it. Because there's nothing more fun than getting sh*t-faced with your closest friends in Vegas, Nashville, or some random city that no one's ever heard of which was chosen as the destination because it's affordable. Bachelorette parties have become a classic American staple and a helluva lot of planning goes into it. The bridesmaids put their blood, sweat, and tears into making the bride-to-be go hard in her final days as a singleton, and the result is wild. The ladies of Twitter have been sharing super funny bachelorette tweets as of late. Scroll down to feel as if you too are hard at work at planning the most epic bachelorette party. 

Back in the college days, getting blackout was all the rage. Alas, we have evolved since then, and our bodies just can't handle hard liquor like they used to. Unfortunately, we actually need to wake up for work the next day, and getting absolutely trashed just won't cut it. Cue wine, the magical grape juice for adults that keeps us going when the going gets tough. Red or white or pink, wine always helps us cool down after a loooong day at work, and has us ladies feelin' some type of way. The women of Twitter get passionate about their love for wine on the daily. Naturally, we've collected the best wine tweets from this week so that you could get in on the action too. Scroll down to go absolutely wild for wine. 

I love a wild night out on the town just as much as the next girl, but are the consequences the morning after really worth it? Definitely debatable. I cannot count the number of times I've promised myself that I'm drinking again during a hangover, only to go just as hard the next night. I'm not saying I condone this foolish behavior, but evidently, I'm not one to judge either. The people of Twitter understand the consequences of a severe hangover all too well and aren't shy about sharing it on the platform. Check out the funniest hangover tweets from this week below. 

We've finally made it to the weekend - cheers! You know what the means - it's time to get completely out of our minds. It's basically a weekend obligation. Of course, we compiled a bunch of boozy memes to inspire you to hit the bottle. You ladies have worked hard, and we all deserve to let loose a little this weekend. Go hard or go home, and scroll down for the funniest drinking memes. 

Ever had a night that you needed a friend to fill in for you? Hey, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes you say, "Sure, I'll mix rum and vodka" and then you wake up the next day with a full face of makeup still on. Honestly, that's pretty normal. 

What can be a little more extreme is waking up in a stranger's bed the next morning. But there are a million reasons/decisions that could lead to that point. Not all stranger sleepovers are made equal, and soon you'll understand why.
