YOU AIN'T TAKIN' MY BOOZE: MAN NEARLY DIES FROOM ALCHOHOL POISONING RATHER THAN HAND OVER HIS VODKA

In, interestingly, Nuremberg Germany on Wednesday:

A man was told by German Airport Police - no doubt people as utterly Zombieistic in their stupidity as our American TSA - that the liter bottle of vodka he was carrying in his bag was too much liquid for a carry-on bag. 

He was given a choice:  drink the bottle, throw it away, or pay a fee and have the bag checked.  Well, he was actually only given the latter two choices, but he made up the former option on his own and then chose it.  He promptly (I like to imagine anyways) told the Airport security moron to go fuck himself.  Then (in reality), he drank the entire bottle in one go, rather than throw it away.

Long story short, the 64 year old man - yeah, he was that old - was taken to a local hospital after a doctor on the scene said he had "life-threatening" alcohol poisoning.  He is expected to be OK and will go home within a few days.

Though very stupid to not know how much booze he could take, this man is my newest hero.  Airport security are possible the most horrid human beings on earth.  They're even worse than DMV employees.
