Dancing Drunk Man Lights Wedding On Fire, Puts It Out, Resumes Dancing

Alcohol is apparently a helluva drug, as evidenced by a recent viral video in which a man, seemingly sloshed at a wedding, lights the party on fire while dancing, realizes his faux pas, then calmly puts it out and resumes dancing before being scolded by someone.

The video originated on TikTok before it was reposted to Twitter by NFL analyst Warren Sharp, where it went viral.

In the clip, a man, possibly named "Clint" judging from one panicked onlooker, emerges dancing from a wedding venue with sparklers in each hand. As he goes to dance with another guest, one of his sparklers lights a nearby decoration on fire.

As the other guests panic, "Clint" turns around, has what can be described as a drunk "oh dear" moment, then proceeds to knock the burning decoration to the ground with his suited arm, stomp the fire out, and resume dancing.

While the video has what must be over a half-dozen examples of poor fire safety practices, the clip's happy ending and "Clint's" joie de vivre helped the video rack up over 14 million views on Twitter over the July 4th weekend. Many users were stunned that "Clint" didn't catch fire despite manhandling a growing blaze with his body and appreciated the level of drunkenness he needed to resolve a potential disaster of his own making.

For future reference, it's probably not recommended to give drunk people sparklers, and should you encounter a fire, it is best to not attempt to put out the blaze using your hands and body.
