DON’T DRINK FOR SPITE

The Xmas drunk-fest came early for a 64-year-old man who put himself in the hospital after chugging a litre of vodka instead of handing it over to the security check point at a German airport. After asking the man to either throw the booze away or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as luggage, the man decided instead to drink the entire bottle so that it wouldn’t go to waste. Officials report that the man was immediately incapacitated and was sent to the hospital with life-threatening alcohol poisoning. Fortunately doctors believe that he will sober up after a few days and will be able to continue his journey. (MSNBC)
