Now that I’m out of the toddler years, I can look back at them and safely say..my god…what the f*** was THAT all about???! And it occurred to me that with the benefit of preschooler infused hindsight that..well, toddlers are basically a LOT like drunk people. Need some convincing? Let me break it down for you here as to exactly why that is:
They have violent tendencies
Only drunk people and toddlers head butt, bite and punch innocent people…that, or crazy people.
They don’t know when it’s time to go home
One can’t leave the park. The other can’t leave the party. Just get your coat already and get it together guys!
They are constantly on the brink of injury
Smashed up faces, epic cuts and near on concussion – all par for the course for both drunk people and toddlers alike.
They are just totally incomprehensible
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??! Both toddlers and drunks can frequently be found uttering totally incomprehensible bum fluff at any given time of the day. They are the only ones who can ever know what their crazy drivel means and communicating back with them makes you sound as crazy as a box of frogs.
They are a liability in public
Supermarkets and drunk people don’t mix. Toddlers and drunk people don’t mix. Nuff said.
They turn crazy angry in an instant
One minute they are you friend then quicker that you can say tot they are unleashing a furious tantrum that could freeze hell over. Time to run for the hills!!!!!
They barf then pretend nothing happened
There are only two kinds of people who can projectile vomit all over the kitchen then pretend nothing happened – yup, you guessed it! toddlers and drunk people.
They think everywhere is a public toilet
Most adults can hold it – drunk people and toddlers pee on trees, on cars, hell they will pee on just about anything they can get within peeing distance of.
They can’t be left alone…ever
Leave a drunk person or toddler alone in a room by themselves and there’s no telling what you might come back to find!! Hopefully it won’t involve a turd of some kind.
They look like they were dragged through a bush backwards
Worzel gummage hair, drool plastered chins, food crusted clothes, and dirt besmearched faces. Toddlers and drunks looks freakishly similar at best!
See I told you! Toddlers and drunk people….too similar it’s scary. And if you still need further convincing just take a look at this drunk person….suspiciously similar to a toddler at the dinner table:

Ha, this is true actually!
Haha oh god you have it spot on ! 🙂
Oh god you have it spot on lol x
Hahah this is so funny and so true! My son is always on the verge of an accident, he literally staggers when he walks!
Haha! I love the incomprehensible aspect of toddler’s talk, always fun guessing what they’re trying to say 🙂
haha, what a great post. Damn straight about them not knowing what time to go home! lol
This is hilarious – it’s so true! x
Ha Ha I had never thought about it before, but its so true! My toddler years are coming to an end thank god x
Ha ha! So true. I texted Roscoe’s dad the other day to say, he’s like a pisshead at a wedding – dancing, singing, shouting, crying 😀
I think you just hit the nail on the head
This is so true, especially the part when they don’t know when to quit and go home!
This is so true! Falling asleep in awkward places or positions would be one I’d add in 🙂
haha never thought of it….but yes they are!!!
Nice post~!
[…] 10 ways toddlers are like drunk people – you know if you think about it, the resemblance is uncanny. Classic Real Deal entertainment here. […]
Ha ha this is so true. We always say the way Josh aimlessly runs around with no particular control is very much like a drunk old man ha ha xx #coolmumclub
This made me laugh out loud!! Great post and so true #coolmumclub
It’s hard to remember those drunk little strange people isn’t it, once you’re well past that stage but it was a bizarre stage. They’re wobbly and aggressive and abusive! You nailed it, basically they behave as though they’re plastered all the time then pass out! #coolmumclub
Lol I’ve said this so many times. Bobsy is like a mini drunken person! #coolmumclub
hahaha this so so funny especially that I have a toddler so I can relate #coolmumclub
Oh god, were just entering the toddler phase now and I completely agree with everything you’ve written. The tantrums!!?? Mines only 14 months and also looks like a little tiny drunk person tottering round.
#coolmumclub
Hilarious post!! Sooo true #coolmumclub
Scary but true! Mine are proper little angry drunks ha ha
Fab to virtually hang together on another #coolmumclub Thursday xx
Ha! This is true! We’ve just entered the toddler phase, i’m not looking for most of these arising! Maybe if I get drunk it’ll go really well…
ha ha I love this! Not forgetting their inability to walk more than a couple of yards before staggering sideways and falling over! Great post!
Lol! Was only having a conversation about this with my friend yesterday. They really do act like they are intoxicated don’t they?! #coolmumclub
Love it. This is so funny and so true! #coolmumclub
While I can relate to much of this. I have a baby/toddler who may grow up to be a hair dresser that or a mud wrestler! As for eldest she refuses to go anywhere but a toilet/potty. #coolmumclub
Quite true! This makes me so very glad these years are a long way behind us! Although I now have a teenager so it won’t be long before he’s an actual drunk person! #coolmumclub
Hiliarious! And so true, my son is like raging alcoholic to be honest #CoolMumClub
So so true! And just like drunk people they really don’t care about making a scene! x #coolmumclub
I’ll never look at a toddler swigging from a sippy cup the same way again
#Coolmumclub
ahahaha I love this!!!! Ben is totally like this! His new current favourite is screaming whilst running… at 6:45am trying to get out the house for work, this is not what i need! Plus he’s literally just got walking down so running is totally hazardous! #coolmumclub
Yup, my toddler ticks every single one of these boxes! #coolmumclub
Ha Ha Ha I think you just described my husband!!! 😉 #coolmumclub
