| The 49-year-old expat was taken to hospital after his swim |
Being drunk can really propel you to do some amazing things.
In the case of one inebriated foreigner in Hong Kong, he managed to swim 3.8km from Lamma Island to Ap Lei Chau!
From a report by HK01, the 49-year-old was drinking with his friends when he boasted he could swim to Ap Lei Chau, the southern side of Hong Kong island, and then promptly took off his clothes, save his underwear and began swimming.
Luckily for him the waters were about 22 degrees or so, and that no boats or ferries bumped into him, but his friends thought he was missing and called the police.
Three hours later he was spotted at Ap Lei Chau, but couldn't find a place where he could get onto shore and called for help; the police threw him a life buoy and firefighters rescued him and took him to the hospital.
Even after three hours of swimming in the ocean his breath still smelled of alcohol!
