When You Get Drunk, You Fall; When Adele Gets Drunk, She Changes Lives

Jan 18 2016 - 5:00am

When most of us are drunk, all we can do is talk really loudly, cry over our exes, and inhale plates of nachos — but not Adele. No, the British singer and all-around supreme being [1] gets insanely charitable when she's had a few, especially toward her fans. During her recent Carpool Karaoke with James Corden [2], Adele told a hilarious story about meeting up with a friend for dinner. After she got the time wrong and ended up at the restaurant by herself for an hour, she drank glass after glass of wine and began changing the lives of unsuspecting people around her. Here's her story:

"I'm sitting in this restaurant for an hour on my own looking like such a loser, so I order a glass of wine and then I have another glass of wine, then I spot a family. I went over — I'm a bit drunk — I was like, 'Did you call my name earlier? [laughs] Sorry, I had my security and he was being a bit protective, whatever.' Then I went, 'Did I hear it's your birthday? Let me get your meal for you.' So I paid for their meal! And then I had another glass of wine, and then my friend arrived and I had two more glasses of wine. Bear in mind that I haven't really had a drink in eight months. And then the next day, I'm in the park with my kid and I find this email address in my pocket of ANOTHER family from Nashville who obviously told me that [my show there] was sold out, so I managed to get them tickets to Nashville. That's what happens when I'm drunk."
