Chug, chug, chug--thud.

Here's a feat to strive for as you kick off your weekend:

A 64-year-old man chugged a liter of vodka in the Nuremberg airport after security informed him of new liquid carry-on regulations.

The man was returning to Dresdin from a holiday in Egypt when he encountered the new rules, which prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes. The man, whose name was not released (thank God for his sake, his drinking friends would have a field day) was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.

The man instead opted to chug the entire bottle--which is like three beers and then some in 10 seconds--resulting in near deadly alcohol poisoning. Guess the guy thought he could still party like it's 1969.

My favorite part of the story though, is this quote:

"Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said."--MSNBC
