This [funny t-shirt design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) plays off of the popular "Keep calm and carry on" saying, but swaps this motto for a message that's totally the opposite. After Hour Agenda is a [fashion label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-to-connect-1) that's specifically designed for those who like to have a good time, get into trouble and most of all, have a good sense of humor.

The 'Get Drunk and Start a Riot' shirt by After Hours Agenda shirt is made from a soft 100% combed ring-spun cotton jersey fabric, so that if you need to crash on the spot after a particularly rowdy night of mischievous activities, you're good to go. This shirt would make a pretty comical gift for that friend of yours who is [a bit of a troublemaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlad-frank-midnight-mischief).
