People Seem To Really Love Getting Drunk With Lenny In 'Red Dead Redemption 2'

If you're a video gamer, you've obviously spent the last three days relentlessly living in the world of Wild West outlaws playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

While there are a lot of things that people love about it, such as drawing p****** in the snow, shooting dogs and turning the whole town against you, and getting ravaged by malevolent grizzly bears, few things are amusing people as much as getting pissed with Lenny.

Yes, there is a task that must be performed as part of the actual storyline which just involved going to a bar and getting messed up in the worst kind of way.

Of all the things that you could do in a video game, this seems like the weirdest one. I mean, you could actually go out and get wasted. You'll struggle to go out and recreate the barren frontiers of the old west nowadays.

It's even more difficult to find any varmints to terrorise and steal their gold in the modern world. Don't even get me started on getting mauled by a rogue grizzly bear in Britain in 2018. Nigh on impossible. I blame Brexit.

That said, people seem to really love heading off to the saloon with Lenny and getting virtually drunk. It's pretty funny, too. Your character is constantly unable to find his mate and gets into all sorts of scrapes along the way.

In fact, the pair wake up in the town jail the day after. It's not clear which one of their many misdemeanours lands them there, but some do.

One Twitter user said: "Getting drunk with Lenny in Red Dead Redemption 2 is now one of my favourite things ever."

Another added: "Yooo the drunk scene on red dead redemption 2 had me in fuckin tears. 'Lenny is that u?'"

Well, it could be worse -they could be out on the actual streets getting wild, instead of inside playing a game about cowboys.

Here it is then - the challenge: drink along with Lenny and Arthur. Get ugly drunk while playing along with the guys on the game.

Actually, given that the whole thing takes about 10 minutes, tops, it's probably for the best that you don't do that. You'll end up in big trouble, and I don't mean locked in a cell forced to pay $10 to get back out onto the streets.

Just go back to drawing d***s in the snow, perhaps?
