Why the long face? Could it be that there aren't enough tipsy animals in your life? As a feline owner who assumes that raging catnip parties take place whenever I leave my apartment, I definitely appreciate some well-intended animal vice humor. Here's the problem, though: products based on drinking humor usually miss the mark on style and refinement.
But to keep things equitable and entertaining, here are the best and worst of products featuring animal intoxication:
Best: An otter walks up to a bar
[Megan Adie]
Lovely letterpressed cards that affirm my suspicion about otters: they do indeed prefer the hard stuff.
Worst: Shark humor gone wrong
[$20, Zazzle]
Exactly what occasion might call for this shirt? Maybe, maybe if you were attending a cocktail party for marine biologists and feeling especially ironic, you could think about thinking about wearing this.
Best: Drinking with bears
[$24, Little Paper Planes]
The best part of this artist print? The inscription that reads "The known practice of using domesticated bears as cushions while drinking."
Worst: Ill-advised puns remain ill advised
[$18, Cafe Press]
I have two issues here: 1) this doesn't make any sense, and 2) it is a clear ripoff of the Charmin Pooping Bear, icon of American advertising and my personal favorite toilet paper salesman.
Best: Behind the scenes at Meerkat Manor 
[$4.25, Etsy]
Victorian zoological prints modified and made into magnets. Don't mind if I do, thanks.
Worst: Buy me a drink and I'll let you pet my hair.
[Nagi Noda]
These hair hats win points for craftsmanship, but I simply don't trust the model under the snout.
Best: Maakies, Maakies, Maakies
[$10, Dark Horse]
Drinky Crow has a very special, booze-soaked place in my heart, and this coaster homage makes me smile.
Worst: Wine storage gets weird
[$25, Red's Bazaar]
I'm willing to overlook the drunk pooches lounging in gigantic grape bunches. I'm even ready to accept the hiccupping dog cork topper. But why in the world would anyone need a wine holder for Charles Shaw?
