Origin

On 26th January 2015, a gentleman named Alexander Robertson posted a selfie of them drinking Greene King IPA in the group "UK Simpsons II". He requested for good Simpsons episodes to watch whilst intoxicated, or as he referred to it as "absolutely wasted". Initially, he was received with backlash and 'roasting', with members mocking him for his physical appearance and lifestyle, however the original thread (now deleted) did become calmer and made more obscure Simpsons references with him photoshopped in.

After the initial thread was finished, many others cropped up including more Simpsons references & photo edits. The popularity of Absolutely Wasted skyrocketed in the following months, with an influx of additional members thanks to a BuzzFeed article created on it, although it did see the 'creator' leave the group due to bullying from new members.

Overall, the past two years that this meme has been in existence, it has drawn mainly positive reactions from the originator and from other related posts and has been one of the most recognisable memes in the group and was voted as the 4th most popular meme of 2016, and most popular in 2015.
