I was thinking about stereotypes of the amiable drunk. For instance, wearing a lampshade as a hat is a familiar image in (at least) the US and UK. Similar, in Japan, is that of a businessman pulling his tie around his forehead in comic imitation of a hachimaki.

Any others? Is incongruent headgear over-represented?

@thoroughburro The one that comes to mind for me is the drunk person talking to an inanimate object, having mistaken if for a person.

@thoroughburro "Incongruent headgear as visual signifier of inebriation: a cross-cultural comparison." I wish to read this paper.

@thoroughburro @Kayray “hall of the amiable drunk around the world” is now the room I most wish to visit at Comic Con. Please shower me in cosplay of this.
