Three Drinks Later is an image macro series in which photographs of well-known extremists and radicals are juxtaposed beneath the caption "me: i promise i won't get all political / 3 drinks later" as a way to poke fun at one's tendency to engage in emotionally charged political debate when inebriated.

The first known variation of the post appeared on September 11th, 2016, featuring an image of well-known communist Vladimir Lenin as the punchline. It appeared on the Facebook page of @SarcasticDragonite[2] that day. A screenshot of a Facebook post using the image and its ensuing thread was posted to /r/iamverysmart[1] by Cerberus73 the same day. The post gained 69 points.
