Drunk Oregonian falls asleep in a dumpster
An Oregon man decided to sleep off a night of heavy drinking by crawling into a dumpster—and was still sleeping when the dumpster’s contents were emptied into a garbage truck. Justin Gilpatrick, 27, somehow survived even though the truck twice tried to compact the load of trash inside. The truck driver finally heard Gilpatrick’s screaming, turned off the compactor, and set him free. “I have not had a drink in years and the one time I do this is what happens,” Gilpatrick said. “I will never drink again.”

A Norwegian bear bash
A family of Norwegian bears broke into a holiday cabin and threw an epic, alcohol-fueled party.

One bear evidently became so intoxicated that it passed out on a bed, leaving it covered in beer and fur. “It’s almost like it’s taken out of Goldilocks and the three bears,” said Nilsen. “They had a hell of a party in there.’’
