What did you get your mother this Mother’s Day? Flowers? A yoga Groupon? Well, too bad, because the trendiest gift this Mother’s Day was a hangover.
Taking your mom out to get plastered for a holiday brunch/lunch/afternoon margarita fest was a favorite activity of the weekend, according to Twitter and other social media, which lit up with pronouncements of just how drunk everyone was getting with their moms. You can find it on the hashtag #drunkmom or all over Instagram, where moms were seemingly perpetually surrounded by mimosas.
Of course, tippling a few with your mom on her special day isn’t new (even if the founder of the holiday might disapprove), but the advent of social media has made the act of getting the person who birthed you plastered into a sort of bragging competition.

I plan on starting mother's day 2015 the same way I became a mom back in 1987. Drunk.
