Oprah hands out shots of tequila in her pyjamas on a cruise ship because she's a damn icon

You get a shot! You get a shot! Everyone gets a shot!

Let's not beat around the bush: Oprah is a living legend. We don't just wish we were friends with her, we wish we were her.

And if you aren't on board with that idea, then perhaps you should watch this mesmerising video of her handing out shots of tequila in her pyjamas on a cruise ship.

Oprah posted the video of herself handing out shots of everyone's favourite route to inebriation as "Lady Marmalade" was blasted in the background.

Oh and, just in case you thought it couldn't get more iconic than that, she also just so happened to post the video with a Hamilton lyric in her caption: "I’m not throwing away my shot."

The tequila-shot moment occurred during O Magazine's "Girls' Getaway" cruise, which looks like one hell of a wild ride, tbh.
