Cleveland Browns fans have been suffering for a long, long time.

Not only did the team go winless last season, but its last win was back in 2016 when they narrowly beat the San Diego Chargers in Week 16.

In recognition of this despair, a "Victory Fridge" full of free Bud Light beer has been installed in bars around Cleveland that will open when, or if, the Browns win this season.

According to WKYC, each fridge holds 200 bottles of the somewhat drinkable beer, and the locks are controlled by WiFi. These fridges will all simultaneously unlock whenever the Browns record their first win.

Of course, if the Browns again manage to record another winless season, these fridges could be just another painful reminder of another year of failure.

As per ESPN's Darren Rovell, the fridge will be restocked once a month to keep the beer fresh, just in case the Browns take a while to get that win.

No one likes to waste beer, even if it's Bud Light.
