Texting and walking is bad for you, but drinking is no slouch either when it comes to the danger department. Here’s what happened to one intoxicated guy who fell into a drain and got himself wedged:

A motorist raised the alarm after he went to move a car parked next to the drain and spotted the trapped man.

He said: "I heard a voice saying help and at first I didn’t see him.

"Then I tried to pull him out but he was wedged tight. He didn’t see that jokers had removed the drain cover as he staggered home."

Firemen spent an hour removing part of the drain before they could pull the man free.
