Joining the likes of infamous rodent celebrities found in the streets of New York (here’s looking at you Pizza Rat, Flood Rat and Millennial Avocado Squirrel), we present to you...Henny Rat!

A picture taken of a rat seemingly "passed out" on a sidewalk while holding on to an empty Hennessy liquor bottle was posted on Twitter by Chris Williamson under the handle @CWilliamson44.

The photo’s caption simply read: “Just another day in New York City.”

Williamson said he took the photo on Monroe Street and Ralph Avenue in Bed-Stuy around 11 a.m. Valentine’s Day.

Could it be that the rodent was trying to drink away a heartbreak during the love-filled holiday? One can’t be sure — and it's unknown if "Henny" is OK — but with thousands of likes and retweets, the twitterverse commented on the peculiar scene.

“He/she was drinking away the pain from the Knicks’ 18th straight loss,” @CWilliamson44 went on to comment once again.

A video of a subway rat lugging a giant slice of pizza down a staircase became the viral, Pizza Rat, in 2015. It's safe to assume you didn't miss this one.

A month after Pizza Rat came onto the scene, a raccoon was spotted in Central Park eating an entire slice of pizza in a tree. Can you really blame them?

A rat dubbed the "Roll Mole" was seen in the subway dragging a comically large dinner roll behind it on the Upper East Side in 2016.

This subway rat was caught tugging away a full slice of pizza at the Lexington Avenue/59th Street station in 2018.

“Yo I use to love Stuart Little, it’s a shame how much alcohol can change someone,” @Brycekauf tweeted.

Yet another twitter user put a spin on popular song lyrics and commented: “Maybe it’s time we blamed it on the Henny.”

Only in New York City.
