Great news for people who like beads, boobs, and booze: Mardi Gras is finally here.

On Tuesday, New Orleans, Louisiana  — and the world for that matter — rang in the big day with its usual spread of festivities, including floats, marching bands, a whole lot of king cake and the beloved return of the t—s-for-beads economy.

Yet as this year’s festivities — and inevitable fails — continue to unfold, we decided to look back at Mardi Gras past, reveling in the last hurrah of drunken messiness before delving into lent.

From police punches to Bourbon Street stampedes, here are some of Fat Tuesday’s most deranged and debaucherous moments.
