Out of Control at Oktoberfest: 17 Photos of People Behaving Badly

There’s no doubt that Oktoberfest — the annual beer festival that was originally celebrated in Munich, Bavaria — has become a global phenomenon. Beer, after all, is a universally loved beverage. These days, beer lovers from various countries set up extravaganzas in October to highlight the brews that everyone can enjoy.

Unfortunately, there are many people who drink more beer than they can handle. They end up doing things that they normally wouldn’t do. But we can’t really blame it all on the beer, can we? It’s also possible that these individuals use Oktoberfest as a license to run wild or look like utter fools.
