Australian Man Cannot Hold/Drink Beer For 12 Months

A construction worker in Australia has been court ordered to not hold or drink a beer for the next 12 months. This stiff penalty was handed down after Michael Leary was convicted of his 7th DUI and his lawyer told the court he had a $981 a week beer habit. Obviously no beer for this guy over the next year is going to be pretty tough but you would think getting your 7th DUI would carry a little bit of a stronger sentence. The judge however actually made a joke about it in court.

“(That is) poor judgement on two counts there — drinking that much and drinking Melbourne Bitter,” magistrate Vince Luppino was quoted as saying.

How the fuck do you spend almost $1000 a week on beer? This isn’t coke we are talking about. If you assume that a 30 pack of cans costs roughly $30 and the guy drank one 30 pack a day that would still only be $210 over the course of the week. The only way you can get close to $1000 is to assume his was knocking back about 30 $4 pints at the bar which would be $120 a day or $840 over the course of a 7 day week. How did he manage to get any actual work done do actually support this beer habit? The guy is a goddamn construction worker and the last time I checked shit doesn’t just build itself.
