The alarm on my watch (running 11.6.1) went off at 2:45 this am. I snapped a screenshot and deleted the alarm but how could it possobly have gotten on my watch?

Absolutely not. I’m not a big drinker whatsoever. To me, it looks like it was written by someone who doesn’t know English (foreign hacker?) but how did it get on my watch?
Did you double check the pairing of your phone and watch and make sure the correct Apple Account is being used? Anyone else use your phone and or watch recently?

FWIW, you're correct it definitely does read like it was written by someone with limited proficiency in English. Maybe try wiping the Watch and re-pairing it???
Also double check to make sure that if you’re typing something from the Watch don’t tap on the notification on your iPhone to use the keyboard on your iPhone to input it to the Watch

Maybe you might have been texting on your iPhone while creating an alarm on your Apple Watch to remind yourself when it’s time to pick up your child from daycare or school… or whatever alarm you needed for the afternoon.
 
Yeah, sounds like something Siri would have transcribed and interpreted as an alarm.
Perhaps Siri was listening to folk music, since it reads like song lyrics, lol.

You think about that
Does my boy
Doesn't my boy
You know it keeps falling.

😂 Is that right? Maybe the HomePod was blasting that song so loudly that the OP’s Apple Watch Series 7 accidentally heard it and it asked Siri to set it ! Some songs with rap lyrics even mention time, like “two in the morning” or “three in the morning.”
