A drunkard wearing a life buoy fell asleep while sailing a hundred metres off the coast in Qingdao of Shandong Province last week.

Five lifeguards were told that a man had been seen floating in the sea; they rushed to the spot and found the man sleeping on a life buoy. They were trying to carry the man to their boats when he woke up.

Later the man said that he was trying to refresh himself by swimming after having a drink with his friend but he unexpectedly fell asleep and was blown off the coast.
