Between the loud music, flashing lights and shots of tequila, someone, somewhere might be carrying a camera - and they aren't afraid to use it. In the moment, it might not seem like a bad idea to have your photo taken. But partying like a rockstar can produce some of the most awkward, cringeworthy and/or embarrassing pictures that could come back to haunt you while you're nursing your hangover.
Bored Panda has compiled a hilarious list of nightclub photos spotted online. From grandmas getting wasted to someone smiling just before their hair catches alight, they're a reminder that you never know when your plastered face will end up plastered all over the internet.
