About

"Go Home, You Are Drunk" is an expression used to point out someone else's failure or misplaced objects, similar to other well-known dismissive statements like You're Doing It Wrong and Buzzkilling. The phrase is typically featured in image macros in which the subject is performing a task incorrectly or found in an out-of-place position.

Origin

Prior to its appearance in image macros, the phrase has been colloquially used to advise someone against over-drinking or scold him or her for losing self-control, comprable to another English idiom "let's call it a day." The earliest known instance of an image featuring the snowclone "Go home X, you're drunk" was posted to the Internet humor site Natuba[1] on October 6th, 2008, which included a photograph of graffiti on a bathroom wall (shown below).
