In July, Cory Neddermeyer, 42, was turned down for unemployment benefits in Iowa after a judge ruled that he was fired for cause.

His employer, the Amaizing Energy ethanol plant, suffered a massive spill that created a pond of fuel alcohol, and Neddermeyer (a recovering alcoholic), after resisting as long as he could, gave in and started drinking from the pool, causing him to pass out and later register a 0.72 percent blood-alcohol reading.

Hmmm this made me think this guy might be related to Peter Griffin from the Family Guy.
