When an Austrian man was recently charged with drunk driving, he became angry and decided to drive to a police station to complain about the charge. The only problem? He was driving drunk again!
When he was first charged with drunk driving his drivers license and car keys were taken away from him, but he went home, picked up his spare keys, made his way back to his abandoned care and drove to the police station to complain about the charge. Duh!
“When the driver tried to show police officers what had happened the first time, they detected he was still under the influence of alcohol,” police said in a statement. The driver was charged a second time.

In September a Melbourne Australian pub got itself into a little trouble and now they’re being investigated by alcohol licensing regulators!
You see they promised a “No Undie Sunday” where women who removed their underwear and hung it above the bar would receive $50 worth of free drinks. Yeah … no undies and all liquored up – now that’s some idea.
Apparently women who flashed their bras and underwear to staff would also get free drinks.
Women’s protections groups were up in arms over the promotion stating that it was “almost an invitation to sexual assault”.
“On the face of it, it looks like an inappropriate liquor promotion and we will be investigating with a view to banning it,” Liquor Licensing Victoria director Sue Maclellan told the Herald Sun newspaper.
On its website the Saint describes itself as “the home of Melbourne’s fashionable set”, but pub attracted the ire of regulators in June after hiring a dwarf to pour free liquor down patrons’ throats.
Posters for the no undies day event showed singer Britney Spears partially exposed and exiting a car in a scene local Mayor Janet Cribbes said was “bordering on being pornographic”.

A man who wanted to have his picture taken next to a moving train ended up suffering from what police in Fargo, N.D. are calling “Train Rash”. Lucky for him that’s the only injuries he sustained.
The 34 year old man and two friends were in Fargo for a conference. At some point they bypassed a security gate at a train crossing and stood near the rails so that he could have his picture taken as the train passed by.
Unfortunately the man stumbled as the train was going by and the train caught his back and ripped his shirt and pants. Naturally alcohol was a factor in this mans poor decision.
