In one of the more memorable episodes of the iconic sitcom Friends, Monica's boyfriend at the time, "Fun Bobby" was more often with a drink in his hand than without one.

But when she confronted him about this and he stopped drinking, it soon becomes abundantly clear what it was that made "Fun Bobby" fun.

This isn't at all a unique situation.

Have you ever gotten food after having enjoyed a few drinks with friends, then returned to the same restaurant to discover the food was noticeably less good without alcohol in your system.

Redditor gustavowdoid was curious what other food, experiences, or people seemed to be better when enjoyed with varying degrees of alcohol, leading them to ask:

"What is something that is totally lame without alcohol but totally awesome with alcohol?"

"Wedding receptions."
