An Australian man convicted of his seventh drink-driving charge was spending about A$1,000 ($972) a week on beer — enough to buy more than 2,500 small bottles a month, a newspaper said Tuesday.

The heartbroken construction worker began drowning his sorrows after breaking up with his partner five years ago, the Northern Territory News said, quoting his defense lawyer as telling a court in Australia’s remote, tropical north.

Dude, five years and you still haven’t gotten over this “partner” of yours? Who was he?

I think it’s pretty funny that the beer he drank was Melbourne Bitter. Fitting name wouldn’t you say? What a bloke.

P.S. if I ever talked shit or said I had any kind of above average beer drinking ability, I completely take it back.
