MAN MOVES OUT, LEAVES 70,000 EMPTY BEER CANS

LANLORD RECYCLES CANS AND SCORES $800

This is a story thtat is almost shorter than the headlines.

An American man moves out of the townhouse he has rented for eight years. The landlord then discovers that rooms in the townhouse are filled, sometimes chest-high, with more than 70,000 empty beer cans. Coors Light was this man's drink, along with the occasional can of Dr Pepper.

That's a truly astonishing average of 25 to 30 cans of beer a day. Should be noted that American Light beer is light on calories, but the alcohol content is only a little lower than the average Australia full-strength beer.

Presumably, the man also had a few parties to help build up that aluminum stockpile.

A massive clean-up operation emptied the townhouse of the cans which were then recycled for $800.

The man has reportedly quit drinking and found work. If he works as hard at his new job as he did drinking beer, he is sure to be a success.
