If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably spend a fair amount of time getting caught in the old Instagram loop. As a result of our “research,” we’ve landed on a handful of favorite follows from the Insta-world. The following list will help you expand your knowledge, find some inspiration or simply dig on some drool-worthy photos. Warning: you may experience an intense desire to eat, drink and be merry.
IT’S 5 O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE
Are you a champion of the cocktail? A beer devotee? No matter. Instagram provides plenty of opportunities for both personality types (and then some) to find new libations to try as well as new—or just the usual—versions of old faves.

It is often assumed that whiskey is a men’s drink. “Not so!” says Women & Whiskies (as well as all the female whiskey drinkers in the world). The sharp pics and recipes-a-plenty will endear this feed to anyone who knows that life is better with a whiskey drink in hand.

This one is, well, a food blog. Inspiration comes from travel or just the ingredients they have on hand. Either way, this feed aims to “celebrate the awesomeness of food” and they don’t fail.
STILL HUNGRY?
It’s hard to narrow down all the food and drink inspiration on Instagram to just a scant few. And we failed at that. But you can benefit from our failure! See how giving we are? These accounts may be runners up, but they’re no less enjoyable or entertaining.

Even if you don’t like cake, even if you don’t like Drake, you’re going to be amused by Drake on a Cake because IT’S DRAKE LYRICS ON CAKES. Hilarious.

Anyone jonesing for waffles, cheesy things or sandwiches, sometimes all combined together, should check out dad_beets. It’s the brainchild of a dad—surprise!—looking to cook and eat and have fun food times. Scroll through with an empty stomach at your own risk—you may end up trying to eat your phone and, well, that’s just never going to taste as good as his pics look.
