'Drunkest guy ever' the new web sensation

He's been labelled the drunkest guy ever and when you see his attempt to obtain some beer from a convenience store fridge you may well agree.

The man made his first appearance on the web a week ago and video of his apparently drunken efforts are getting clicks at a rapid rate and spreading around the world.

Security footage from the convenience store shows the man make repeated efforts to balance himself before he is finally able to open a fridge door and grasp a carton of beer.

The weight of the beer carton destabilises the seemingly inebriated customer who finds himself firmly rooted to the floor of the store aisle.

The man then makes a number of laboured attempts to right himself and regain his footing while clutching his beloved beer.
