When the rescuers arrived, they found him unresponsive and surrounded by over 100 empty beer bottles that had been arranged on the floor with a narrow path open between them.

According to his son, the man had refused to eat anything - even when meals were prepared for him - and had instead consumed nothing but beer for over a month.Sadly, there was nothing the rescue workers could do to save his life.

It is thought that a recent divorce was responsible for the man's descent into alcohol-fueled oblivion.

According to nutritionists, while beer does contain calories, it is not enough on its own to sustain someone over an extended period and also comes with the risk of nutrient deficiency and liver damage.

Suffice to say, trying to live off beer and nothing else was always going to be a recipe for disaster.
