This Is How Many Newlyweds Actually Get Drunk at Their Wedding
After you got zero sleep the night before your wedding, sat in the hair and makeup chair for three hours, got annoyed with Aunt Judith for bringing an uninvited plus one, accidentally ripped your veil while taking photos, sobbed walking down the aisle, and, you know, got married (!), we'll be blunt—it's definitely time for a drink.
From having morning mimosas with your bridal party to many toasts throughout the night, there's no shortage of cheers-ing on your wedding day—but how many people actually got drunk? According to the 13,000 brides and grooms polled in The Knot 2016 Real Weddings Study, we uncovered these two stats: 18 percent said that their partner got drunk at the wedding, and 15 percent said that they themselves got drunk at the wedding.
Weddings are all about celebrating, so whether it's to toast at the reception or cure your jitters before you walk down the aisle (or a little of both), drinking can be a big part of your day. But whatever you do, remember to take a minute and eat at the reception so you can remember everything going on around you!
