What is the origin of the idiom "drunk as a wheelbarrow" and when to use it?

The idiom "drunk as a wheelbarrow" is a playful and humorous way of describing someone who is heavily intoxicated due to alcohol consumption. The origin of this phrase is less clear than some other idioms, but it is likely derived from the idea that a wheelbarrow, when full and wobbling, may move in an unsteady or erratic manner, much like a person who is drunk might exhibit unsteadiness and lack of coordination.
