A SINGLE man couldn’t resist ranting about what a woman ate on their date – but it was down to her interesting lifestyle.

Even though he thought she was a 10/10, he should have known something was up when he encountered her running from the police.

Former law enforcement officer Jeremy Foy (@jfoy_3.0) called himself the CEO of Dating Nightmares based on his numerous bad experiences.

He shared a story in one TikTok video about a woman named Catherine, whose strange habits caused him to vomit.

While in Dallas, Texas, he was at a local Petco picking up food for his roommate’s dog and then heard screaming from a few aisles away.

As a former cop, he walks over and sees a woman being treated by two loss prevention officers.

They both reach into her pockets and start pulling out cat food and cat treats.

Since she was a “10/10” according to Jeremy, he walked up to her and said she was his special needs cousin Tiffany, who didn’t take her medication that day and offered to return the goods.

“She plays into it. She’s crying, she’s kicking her feet. I take her hand. They agree on this and I take her to my car,” he explained.

He asked what was wrong with her and before she told her side of the story, she started snacking on something that smelled “damn weird.”

Jeremy took her home after the incident, where they exchanged numbers and developed a talking stage relationship over the next few weeks.

For their first date, he took her to a ‘bada** restaurant’ where she ordered catfish and drank a glass of milk the entire time.

Since they didn’t have any catfish, she was probably pretty hungry when he took her home.

“She’s crying in my seat, licking her damn hand and rubbing her face. She’s crying and says she’s scared to go in there alone, so I’m going in with her,” Jeremy said.

Once inside, he asked where her cats were and she replied that she had no cats, which stunned him.

“In my head I’m thinking, ‘Why the hell did you steal cat food?’” he said.

Being “curious”, while she was in the bathroom he started opening her cupboards and saw maybe 50 cans of cat food.

She then comes out of the bathroom, opens a can and starts eating it.

The experience traumatized him so much that he couldn’t help but gag a few times as he explained it.

Then he thought they were what people call a furry, someone who dresses up like a cat.

Viewers were quick to correct him for likely identifying him as something else, while others merely chastised him.

“‘SHE’S EATING..CAT FOOD!’ *gag reflex activated*,” said one viewer.

“That was a therian, a person who believes he is an animal. They are NOT furry animals! I am a hairy gentleman and this behavior is not normal for this community. I promise,” wrote another.

“Okay…I’m totally judging you! Seriously, how hot was she for you to ignore all that??” one TikTok user asked.

Food waste and I have a history.

One childhood memory, from the family dinner table in Mumbai, still plays in my mind: “Don’t waste your food,” my mother warned daily. “Too many starving children everywhere,” my father would say.

Decades later, now that I live in New York City, I still can’t throw those leftovers away. At least not the way some of my friends do, with cool nonchalance, or the way restaurants and shops regularly do when they’ve overprepared.

So I decided to try Too Good To Go, one of several apps that connects diners with unsold restaurant food. It claims to have 12,000 businesses, such as restaurants and markets, that offer surplus meals, often at a discount, to around seven million users worldwide.

The goal is to save money, fear and certain greenhouse gases. Wasted food is responsible for food worldwide 8 to 10 percent of global warming emissions. That’s because rotting food produces methane gas, which traps heat.

This is what I got during my week-long experiment, all over Manhattan, trying to keep some of those meals out of the trash.

Sunday January 28

• Two quart cans of soup: chicken and rice and a creamy tomato
• Potato chips
• One focaccia sandwich with mozzarella, tomato and fried mushrooms
• One croissant

Total spent: $11

Most meals in the app are sold as ‘surprise bags’, usually at the end of the day, and you often have no idea what you’re getting. That makes the experience something like gambling. And it can be strangely addictive, just like gambling. At least for me.

This first day’s pick came from Remedy Diner in the morning and Rent Money Lounge in the afternoon, both on the Lower East Side.

Monday January 29

• A croissant
• A blueberry muffin
• A slice of gluten-free banana bread
• Two six-packs of frozen Chinese rolls: one with sour cabbage and tofu, the other with plain cabbage
• One cube of seasoned dry tofu
• One bag of frozen, vegan tuna made from non-GMO soybeans
• A tuna salad wrap sandwich
• Six ham and cheese sandwiches
• A large piece of chocolate cake and six cannoli pastries

Total spent: $17

On this day I made three stops: a cafe chain called Bluestone Lane, Lily’s Vegan Pantry in Chinatown, and Gourmet Garage in the West Village.

It was a huge amount of food for so much money. Lily’s vegan snacks, such as the sandwiches and tuna, were a wonderfully pleasant surprise. The Gourmet Garage bag, on the other hand, left me disappointed. How about some fresh produce, guys? Still, I kissed like a bandit.

One woman's secret shame caused her to devour several portions of pasta, a whole tub of ice cream and fast food in one night.

Desiree Van Nice, 25, lost more than 100 pounds after tackling her binge eating disorder.

The secret food addict had reached 253 pounds at the height of her binges.

After losing weight to 158 pounds, Desiree traded her size XXL clothes for a size medium.

The California native said she was ashamed of her weight and felt the need to hide her massive portions for fear people would judge her.

“To hide all the takeout packaging, I took out the trash and made sure to hide everything under the trash we already had. I was so ashamed of myself,” she explained.

“If I were to make lasagna, I wouldn't eat a normal portion, but at least three large portions instead of just one.

“Then sometimes in the evening I would grab a whole tub of ice cream and eat it and I would DoorDash all the fast food I could, one day it would be Taco Bell and the next day it would be McDonald's, it got really bad. “

Desiree described spending between $15 and $40 per takeout order, which she managed up to four times a week.

Realizing that she was no longer happy in her marriage, she divorced her husband and decided to reinvent herself.

Desiree replaced the late-night takeout with a tough cardio routine and a controlled diet.

“Now that my diet has more structure, my body actually gets what it needs throughout the day, so I don't get the junk food cravings I used to,” she explained.

She added that being alone helped her focus as she no longer prioritized her relationship over her own physical and mental well-being.

During her 10-month weight loss journey, she started doing cardio and lightweight training every day.

She also changed her diet, sticking to a maximum of 1,500 calories per day and increasing her protein intake to 160 grams to support her workouts.

Desiree reflected on her journey and shared how she used food as a crutch during difficult times.

“I used food to be sad and alone all the time, but I didn't want anyone to think I was eating like a pig, so I had to hide it,” she said.

It became so much for her that she even started hiding junk food containers at the bottom of the trash.

“I've always been bigger my whole life, but I didn't really notice it until I got older. The older I got, the more I realized how big I was,” Desiree explained.

“When I went on a cruise with my friends, it was a moment where I realized I had to make a change. I just felt uncomfortable in my own skin all the time.”

Although she admits she struggled at first, Desiree quickly became determined on her health journey.

“It was hard to stay focused at first. I started with a healthy meal and then ruined it by making burritos on top of what I already had,” she said.

“I was eating random foods at random times instead of putting together real meals, so it meant I was starving at night and felt like I had to eat to satisfy the hunger.”

She explained that her controlled and balanced diet means she no longer has intense cravings.

Desiree cited her newfound independence as another important factor in both her weight loss and her mental health journeys.

“There were so many things I was holding back because I was building my life around my relationship,” she explained.

“I learned that I had to find my happiness on my own before I could even think about loving someone else.”

She described how she had previously ignored her body and not taken care of it.

“I found it hard to love myself and I couldn't focus on what was best for my body,” Desiree said.

“I was unhappy with my life before, but I left everything behind and completely reimagined who I am. I'm finally proud of myself.”

WITH a starring role in Dancing On Ice and her latest fitness DVD hitting the charts, Coleen Nolan has never looked better.

But behind her slim figure, size 10 and beaming smile, the Loose Women star was desperately unhappy.

5

The year was 2009 and after years of battling to control her weight, Coleen had capitalized on the celebrity fitness DVD craze and released four of her own films between 2007 and 2009.

With a grueling diet and exercise regimen, she had lost the 4st and dropped from a size 18 to a size 10.

“I actually looked great,” she says. “I'd say this is probably the best I've ever seen.

“Funnily enough, I was offered a lot more primetime jobs.”

But the 6ft tall star says the constant exercise and dieting made her miserable.

“They sent this trainer about seven days a week and I was on a very strict diet.

“As a person, I was probably the unhappiest I've ever felt. I lost myself somewhere,” says the mother of three.

“I lost my personality and no longer knew who I was supposed to be.”

The pressure to maintain weight began to take its toll.

“I thought, 'I don't know who I'm doing this for,'” she says. “I did it for the money.”

Coleen started gaining weight and was a size 16 by 2011.

“I've been on all the diets and they all work until you stop,” she says.

“I was on a liquid diet, which involved three glasses of liquid, and lost three stone in three months. It was only 500 calories a day.

No quick fix

“My doctor said, 'Please get rid of it,' because it was very dangerous.

“When I did that, I must have put the 4th back on. Unless you change your lifestyle, no quick fix will ever work.”

Coleen's body fights started when she was a little girl.

At the age of nine, she joined her older siblings in the Nolan Sisters and it wasn't long before she started feeling insecure.

“My sisters were teenagers at the time and were beautiful, and I thought, 'Oh God, I'm fat,'” says Coleen, 58.

“Now I look back and think, 'Oh my God, there was nothing of me'.”

As part of the successful girl group, which also included her sisters Maureen, Anne, Linda and the late Bernie, Coleen says her body was scrutinized from day one.

“I was probably told to lose weight, or called the chubby one,” she says.

“But I was only nine. I'm so glad I didn't listen to them, I probably would have developed an eating disorder or just hated myself.

“It is an industry that can make you feel extremely insecure.”

Today's TV world isn't that different.

As she prepares to celebrate her 59th birthday next one The presenter says she is furious to find herself being sidelined by TV bosses thirsty for younger stars.

“I'm in an industry that often says, especially to women, 'No, you're a bit old to be doing that now.' Well, I just don't have it,” she says.

“I'll let them know when I'm too old.

“You go to a meeting for a new show, you're getting along great and you think, 'This feels perfect for me.'

“Then someone in their 20s or early 30s who is obviously beautiful gets it.”

Coleen even claims she felt pressured to have cosmetic surgery or “try a little Botox”.

She says: “There is a lot of pressure, but I don't want to, thank you. Leave me alone,” she says.

“It makes you look in the mirror and think, 'Maybe I should get a facelift. Maybe I should have Botox” or “Maybe I should be a size six.”

“I'm just strong enough to say no.”

I've been on every diet and every diet works until you stop

But Coleen adds: “I don't think there's anyone who doesn't look in the mirror and stand there and pull their cheekbones in and pull out the wrinkles.

“But I also love seeing the life on people's faces. I love all the scars and wrinkles.

'I don't like a face that has lived and laughed a lot frozen on time because you got work done.

“I am in no way against anyone who wants to take that path. But don't try to pressure me.

“I also feel like everyone is starting to look the same. Women are just starting to look like The Stepford Wives.”

Covid and lockdown took their toll on Coleen's weight and she found herself back to a size 18-20.

Not only that, she had 'crippling' pain due to a bad disc in her back, bursitis – a painful swelling in her hip joints – and plantar fasciitis – heel pain – in both feet.

“I had the worst time. I literally ate paracetamol every day,” she says.

“I was obviously overweight. It was closed, so you just ate crap.

'I'm such a snacker'

“So I decided to follow a plant-based diet, which changed my life.

“Within two weeks I was taking no painkillers, my feet and hips cleared up and I lost about two stone.”

But as a lot of health problems disappeared, another, more serious condition appeared.

Coleen says: “I've just found out I'm pre-diabetic. It is type two, which means it has to do with food.”

Coleen puts this down to her feeling out of control between meals.

“I'm such a snacker. I ate myself to death – chips, chocolate, whatever,” she says.

“And processed vegan food is just as bad for you as having a McDonald's.

“I just need to stop eating crap.”

But when it comes to using weight loss drugs such as Ozempic – a celebrity favorite – Coleen is strongly against it.

She says, “I don't believe that.”

Coleen was scared last year when she discovered skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, on her shoulder, but luckily it was successfully treated.

But three pre-melanomas on her face still need to be treated.

“As soon as I can, I'm going to sort them out because later they will turn into cancer,” she says.

Her sister Linda, 64, is still battling incurable brain cancer.

“She is just incredible, her will to live is outrageous,” says the star.

'She says she's going to have chemo, just like I say I'm going to Tesco.'

Coleen lives in Cheshire with her partner of three years, Michael Jones, 59, who works in supermarket logistics and animals including four dogs, three cats, a horse and two goats.

I decided to follow a plant-based diet, which changed my life

Yet she says she has suffered from 'empty nest syndrome' since her 22-year-old daughter Ciara left earlier this year to travel with her boyfriend.

“Just because they bought a one-way ticket, I can't say, 'Oh well, I only have three months to get through it,' because it could take three years,” she says.

“It's a huge, huge hole in my life. My eldest son (Shane Jr) has been back for a while and I have my partner Michael here, but that doesn't fill the daughter gap.

“I don't think anything will fill that until she gets home.”

Meanwhile, Coleen is busy with her new solo tour, cheekily titled Naked.

In the show, she performs a selection of her favorite songs, shares her thoughts on growing older and discusses her love life – which could be tricky considering who she'll be sharing the stage with.

“My son Shane Jr supports me and my ex-husband, Ray (Fensome), plays guitar,” she reveals.

“My new partner does the merchandise. So it really is a family affair.”

Coleen decided to call the tour Naked as it is her first time on stage without her famous sisters.

“I feel incredibly vulnerable so my partner suggested I call it Naked, which I thought was a brilliant idea,” she says.

“People ask, 'Are you going to be naked?' and I'm like, 'If that makes you buy a ticket, then I say yes'.”

As for what's up for discussion, she says nothing is off limits.

“If you ask me a question, I will answer it. There are no restrictions for me,” she promises. “Unless it's gross or something.

“But you'd be really stupid to spend money on a ticket if you hated me, so fool yourself even more.”

• Coleen has dates across the country for her Naked tour until March 28

Maisie Williams has opened up about the “relentless” effort she put into her “all-consuming” role as resistance heroine Catherine Dior in Apple TV+'s upcoming drama The New Look.

The 22-year-old actress, who packed up her “whole life and moved to Paris for the role,” described the grueling efforts she went through to get into character, including eating “very little” and waking up at 4 a.m. after just three hours of sleep.

The Game Of Thrones star also opened up about suffering from 'sleep paralysis' during filming due to 'feeling restricted'.

Inspired by true events, the 10-episode historical drama series centers on fashion designers Christian Dior and Coco Chanel as they navigate the horrors of World War II and launch modern fashion.

Speak with Harper's BazaarMaisie said: 'It was a long job, and it was great; my whole life moved to Paris. It was hard work, but it was such an honor to do this part, and it became an all-consuming task.

'It was very brutal. The process of doing take after take really breaks down your character in a way.

“It's not for everyone, but for me I like to get lost in a role and keep going until we complete a scene.”

The actress revealed the strict regimen she followed to realistically portray Catherine Dior's emaciated appearance when she returned to Paris after World War II.

Maisie continued: 'I ate very little, meditated all the time, burned candles and incense in my apartment. I had to get up at 4am to start sweating.

“The night before, around 7 or 8 p.m., I was allowed to eat something salty and dehydrating: some smoked salmon and a small glass of wine.

'Then I was given a boiling hot bath with lots of salts in it. And I kind of drifted off to bed and slept maybe three hours, and woke up and had a handful of nuts.

'Right now I couldn't sleep all night. I kept waking up feeling like a marble in a bottle rattling…'

Maisie further admitted that she suffered from nightmares and had 'terrible visions of men in uniform' during filming.

Maisie stars in the upcoming drama The New Look, out February 14.

Todd A. Kessler's landmark 10-episode series stars Ben Mendelsohn as Christian Dior, Juliette Binoche as Coco Chanel and Game Of Thrones star Maisie as resistance heroine Catherine Dior.

Inspired by true events and filmed exclusively in Paris, the series focuses on fashion designers Christian Dior and Coco Chanel as they navigate the horrors of World War II and launch modern fashion.

It will also star John Malkovich as French couturier Lucien Lelong and Emily Mortimer as socialite and close associate of Coco Chanel Elsa Lombardi.

The first images Maisie was almost unrecognizable in her close-up as Mendelsohn's on-screen sister, Catherine Dior.

The series will make its global debut with the first three episodes on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode every Wednesday through April 3.

Set against the Nazi occupation of Paris in World War II, the drama focuses on the pivotal moment in the twentieth century when the French city brought the world back to life through fashion icon Christian Dior.

As Dior rises to fame with its groundbreaking, iconic imprint of beauty and influence, Chanel's reign as the world's most famous fashion designer is in jeopardy.

The intertwined saga follows the surprising stories of Dior's contemporaries and rivals, from Chanel to Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga and more.

It also offers a glimpse into the atelier, designs and clothing created by Christian Dior in collaboration with the House of Dior.

The soundtrack for the series was produced by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff and features covers of popular songs from the early to mid-twentieth century performed by artists such as Bleachers, Florence Welch, Lana Del Rey, Matty Healy (The 1975) , Beabadoobee, Nick Cave, Parfumgenie and more.

Maisie's character Catherine Dior, sister of Christian Dior, was a crucial figure in the French Resistance.

She was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo in 1944 and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp before escaping near Dresden in 1945.

As Christian's sister, she became the inspiration behind his famous Miss Dior fragrance.

A brazen thief snatched a designer bag from a Puerto Rican tourist as she dined at a Miami restaurant before spending nearly $2,000 of the victim's money.

Marisoll Hernandez, 60, was out to dinner with a friend Friday evening when a woman walked up behind her and her Gucci bag slid off the back of her chair.

Hernandez, a chef and writer, was visiting from San Juan to promote her book Enamorada. After attending book signings in Coral Gables, she continued her trip for a few more days to spend time with friends in Miami.

She and a friend were deep in conversation while waiting for their food at Toscana Divino, an upscale Italian restaurant, when a woman in a fuchsia dress walked by.

The woman stared at her phone, reached out and grabbed Hernandez's Gucci bag from the back of the chair, in a moment captured on CCTV.

Hernandez, still grinning, didn't even notice she had been robbed.

“They took my things, you know – they're material things, but they're still yours,” the author told NBC6. “You feel frustrated.”

Earlier that day, Hernandez had posted a photo on Instagram with the same Gucci bag slung over her shoulder.

Inside the bag was a Gucci wallet with a credit card, $1,200 cash and a pair of Cartier glasses that she said were worth almost $4,000.

She was alerted that the suspect had used her credit card to make purchases totaling nearly $1,800.

“The person went shopping that night and had fun with my money and my credit cards,” Hernandez said.

She was able to track the bag thanks to an AirTag, which pinged into an apartment building, but police were unable to retrieve it.

A court order was required before officers could enter the building and go door to door, according to Mike Vega, spokesman for the Miami Police Department.

The charges included in the police report are theft, purse snatching and fraudulent practices.

According to police, the suspect is facing theft charges because the value of the stolen property exceeds the state's minimum legal criteria of $300.

The incident comes amid a wave of similar crimes. Earlier this month, South Miami police asked the public for help identifying two men who stole an elderly woman's purse the weekend before Christmas.

CCTV footage showed the men entering a restaurant and going to the bar to observe victims. One of the men took off his jacket, covered the woman's bag and took it with him as they left.

The victim said the bag was worth about $8,000. The men also made off with documents, cash and credit cards, which they used shortly afterwards.

“I believe they've done this before,” said Sgt. Fernando Bosch told CBS News. “They are organized and know what they are doing.”

Hernandez fell victim to one of the first purse robbers of the month; nothing had been reported on January 7.

“I know I can't get my stuff back – money is money, credit cards are credit cards,” she said. “It will be resolved, but I really want justice.”

The actor who played King Charles in The Crown almost committed a food crime when he ate asparagus with a knife and fork in one scene, an investigator for the show has revealed.

Speak with History EXTRA Annie Sulzberger magazine said Dominic West tried to reach for cutlery while tucking into vegetables in Highgrove during filming.

“Our wonderful etiquette advisor, David Rankin Hunt, stopped him and said, fancy people don’t eat asparagus with knives and forks, they use their fingers,” she said.

“So we reset it and shot it again, while Dom picked up the asparagus with his fingers.

“It’s important to have so many voices sharing their experiences because I don’t think I could have looked up the way two posh people would have eaten asparagus in 1992.”

Major David Rankin-Hunt, who has worked for the Royal Family in two roles for 33 years, has advised the makers of The Crown on everything from satatory choices to gun salutes and umbrellas.

Speaking to Femail in 2015, an etiquette expert revealed another set of rules when it comes to eating the delicacy.

“When served as a starter, rather than as an accompanying vegetable, they are eaten with the hands and dipped in the hollandaise sauce,” explains William Hanson.

‘The British eat these with the left hand (leaving the right hand free of fat, ready to shake hands or pick up a wine glass, for example); There are cultures where eating with the left hand is not customary, in this case they may eat the asparagus with the right hand. (Not many people know the left hand rule these days.)

“You can double dip the sauce, as long as it’s your own portion.”

Dominic also recently admitted that he ‘understands’ the criticism of the show – and ‘acknowledges that there is discomfort about it’.

Speaking BBC5Live this week, the actor told host Nihal Arthanayake that he had “convinced himself that the royal family is public property and therefore fair game.”

“But I still feel uncomfortable at the thought of anyone playing fair or anyone’s private life being made public,” he added.

The actor also said he understands why ‘people think this is too close to actual events’ – with series of six of the show covering both the death of Princess Diana and the late queen’s funeral planning.

“The sadness is still so, so real,” he continued. ‘I’ve thought about that a lot, I still do.

‘Ultimately you have to put your trust in Peter’s hands and he is a proven great playwright.’

Dominic also explained that he found it difficult to play the monarch as “extremely emotional” this season.

The Netflix star also claimed earlier this week that Charles was judged too harshly when Diana died.

He believes history should be kinder to the current king, who he says has “made every mistake.”

Dominic, previously best known for his role as Jimmy McNulty in The Wire, believes Charles was seen as a ‘bad guy’ after his ex-wife died with Dodi Fayed on the night of August 30.

In season six, which premiered last month and released its final episodes last week, Charles breaks down in tears when he learns of his ex-wife’s death in Paris. He then defied his mother and insisted that the royal plane be sent to France to collect her coffin, sobbing loudly when he first saw her body at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital.

Dominic said: ‘You do feel sympathy for him. I think, especially around Diana’s death, he was the villain of the piece. And I think that now that we’ve had 25 years of hindsight to look back on, we might consider that – I’ve certainly judged that – as a little bit harsh on him.”

Speak with The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed, “I fight for him like you do as an actor for any character, except maybe the most villainous one. Inevitably you try to get into the mind of your character and that requires some kind of sense of common humanity and empathy.’

He said he has grown to love playing Charles on the show, and admits he is sad to see the role end.

In an interview with City and country he said, ‘I miss him. I still read all the news articles about him. I love him. I feel real affection for him, which I didn’t really feel before,” adding, “He’s likeable, but also an interesting character.”

He referred to recent events, such as Charles’ anger when his pen stopped working after the Queen died.

“It’s hard not to bring the current man into the historical man, or even the real man into Peter Morgan’s version of him. But it was a wonderful gift to have all that coronation stuff and the pen – the irritation about the pen. You don’t get much insight into what’s going on behind the public persona. So I eagerly devoured all those moments. They really are gold dust for an actor.”

He added: “He has made every mistake. He’s been through it all, it’s as bad as it gets. And it’s grilled as hard as it could be. And so I imagine, as with so much in his life, that there is a certain determination now that he is king. I think there is some relief, probably, that he is no longer allowed to be political or outspoken.”

He added: “He landed on his feet – or with a crown on his head, more accurately.”

The latest series of The Crown has proven controversial and received mixed reviews, from its portrayal of Diana’s death to Charles’ marriage to Camilla and the Queen’s existential crisis over the future of the monarchy.

There are also a series of bizarre dream sequences in which senior royals, including the Queen and Charles, speak to the late princess, played by Elizabeth Debicki, after her death.

Harry’s shame about wearing a Nazi uniform to a party has been gleefully recreated by Netflix in the very last episode of The Crown.

A mischievous New Jersey dog ​​drank down an entire bottle of vodka and half a bottle of Bailey’s before his owner came home to find him a little worse for wear.

Mary, from southern New Jersey, returned home last week to find her dog, who had been home alone, staggering around her house and unable to walk.

She found an empty bottle of Bailey’s on the floor and an overturned handle of vanilla Smirnoff vodka on the counter.

According to Mary, the Bailey’s bottle was half empty and the vodka was still full before her mischievous puppy broke into the alcohol stash.

The New Jersey resident’s dog, Jack, is a five-year-old rescue puppy who appears to be a husky mix.

Mary, who did not share her last name, posted a video of the drunken dog on TikTok and it immediately went viral – racking up 35 million views and almost six million likes.

In the video, Mark can be heard saying, “It’s not funny, but my dog ​​is drunk and I don’t know what to do.”

Viewers found the viral video hilarious, but some people raised concerns about the dog’s health and safety.

Mary later posted a TikTok explaining how she handled the situation after the initial shock discovery.

“As far as what happened, I have a window seat that’s against my counter, and the alcohol was on the counter,” she said.

“So he jumped on the window seat and then on the counter and chewed the lid off the Bailey’s bottle – which you can see in the video, the lid is chewed off. When I got home I found the lid on the floor.

‘I did take him to the vet. I called animal poison control first. They advised me to bring him in just because they didn’t know how much he was consuming.

‘So I took him to the vet, who kept him overnight. They gave him fluids, observed him and called me at 7am in the morning and said, “He’s doing fine, he’s running around like he’s not even hungover.”

She also clarified that she “absolutely did not” let her dog consume the alcohol on purpose.

Mary said, “I have no children – Jack is my child.”

Although Jack’s drunken state was an accident and Mary took good care of the situation, previous drunken dog situations were not so lighthearted.

In 2012, a man was arrested for getting his dog so drunk that the dog kept falling over while he tried to get up.

Todd Harold Schrier went to court on animal cruelty charges after police in East Helena, Montana discovered the Pomeranian dog was more than four times the legal drinking limit for people driving vehicles.

The 50-pound dog, named Arly II, was unable to walk in a straight line when police found the animal at Smith’s Bar.

The dog was taken to Alpine Animal Clinic, where a blood test showed its blood alcohol level was 0.348 percent. The legal limit for drivers is 0.08 percent.

Michelle Richardson, the clinic’s veterinarian, told the Helena Independent Record that such high levels of alcohol could be fatal.

In another comical case of a drunk dog from 2017, a sneaky pooch was left with a miserable hangover after consuming twelve bottles of chocolate liqueur that left her drunk – and then incredibly sick.

As part of Ellie Mae Dwyer’s punishment, the pooch’s owner had her pose for a photo next to the remaining bottles of chocolate liquor she had broken into and a sign detailing her antics.

‘Today I ate twelve bottles of chocolate liqueur. I got so drunk I couldn’t get up. And then the projectile burst through the living room. And now I have a hangover!’ reads the sign.
