Drinking Makes You Stupid


OK... maybe that's not entirely accurate. Drinking makes you prone to do very stupid things. Take this for example:
A drunk Ukrainian who boasted to friends of his amazing strength was left fighting for his life when he picked a fight with a 42 stone grizzly bear.

The 22 year-old man, not named, had been drinking with friends in the town of Cherkask when he decided to show them how strong he was by wrestling with the biggest animal he could find.

They went to the local zoo where he climbed over the railings into the bear cage and started to hit one of them on the leg.

The bear pushed the man away with a swipe of his paw but when the man hit him again the bear pinned him to the ground and began mauling him.
For those of you not familiar with the term "stone"- one stone is equal to fourteen pounds. So... to translate... this yay-hoo climbed into a cage with a 600 pound bear (approx. weight). Rocket science, I tell you!

What's amazing is that the guy is alive. What's even more amazing is that, once he's out of the hospital, he'll probably do this again.

There's a lesson in this for everyone. Friends don't let friends do stupid stuff like this when they're drunk out of their gourd. Or, at least, they SHOULDN'T.
