Ah, the stupid things you do when you’re drunk. Here’s what happened to Michal Kawolski, 23, after a few hours of drinking:
A Polish man had to be rescued by coastguards after he drifted out to sea on a sheet of ice clutching a bottle of vodka.
Michal Kawolski, 23, had been drinking with pals at Gdansk when he decided to test the strength of the ice forming beside the shore.
But as he clambered on, a piece broke away and swept terrified Mr Kawolski into the Baltic Sea by powerful currents.
"We dared him to do it and it seemed like a good idea after a few hours of drinking," said one friend.
I wonder if he helped himself to some Vodka on the rocks while adrift. After all, there’s plenty of ice around: Link

Australia’s ABC News Onlin reporter Karen Barlow (Twitter @kjbar) went aboard the icebreaker Aurora Australis on a journey to Antarctica when she came across this bit of oddity: a piece of wood sitting atop a floating iceberg.
I’ve heard the Southern Ocean attracts a hardy individual but a block of wood on an iceberg is ridiculous.
This lonely piece of timber was spotted on the top of a small berg at 66 degrees south, just north of Commonwealth Bay.
Wildlife watchers near Aurora Australis’ bridge first thought it was a relaxing seal but it was soon apparent it was rectangular in shape.
How it got to such a prominent position, instead of just floating around, is anyone’s guess.
So, how do you think it got there? Link
It was just another day at Marine biologist Andrew Perry’s rather unusual job ( he moves icebergs that are drifting toward stationary deep-water oil rigs), when he discovered something unusual:
Perry was out trawling for icebergs with Oceans Limited, a Canadian
company that identifies which of the tremendous floaters are drifting towards stationary deep-water oil rigs, when he found the arch — think Stargate meets portal to Narnia.
The folks at Eden TV, a new UK-based natural history television network, celebrated its launch by building a 16-foot-tall of a polar bear and cub stranded on an iceberg. The sculpture was then set free to float down the Thames in an attempt to bring attention to the new network and to raise awareness about the polar bear’s dwindling habitat.
