This is a two-panel humorous meme. The top panel shows a man in a black t-shirt and grey Nike baseball cap holding a baby in a front baby carrier, pretending to kiss the baby's head while holding a bottle of Crown Royal whiskey, with the header text 'Never Look Like An Alcoholic Again' implying he appears to be an innocent parent carrying his child. The bottom panel is a close-up reveal that the baby is actually a modified doll, with a hidden drinking cup built into its chest, and someone is pouring whiskey into this hidden cup.
