Beer fan to take bottles to the grave
A 72-year-old who claims to have drunk nothing but beer for 30 years has made sure there are bottles at his final resting place.
Slobodan Ristivojevic from Yugoslavia says he gave up drinking anything but beer in 1972 and has since guzzled 100,000 bottles.
He has now had his grave specially designed with two bottles of beer cemented into the headstone.
Slobodan claims he isn't an alcoholic and now only drinks six bottles a day - down from 20 a day a few years ago.
The man from Arandjelovac says he couldn't imagine drinking water again, fearing it could even make him collapse.
He told Serbian daily Glas Javnosti about his headstone: "One beer is for me and another one for my loving wife Slavka. She drinks water too but likes beer and when we die I want to be sure we'll have beer there at the cemetery as well.
"There is no drink that refreshes like beer. I used to drink up to 20 bottles a day but nowadays it's only about six a day. I'm not an alcoholic, but I simply can't drink anything else but beer. If I were to drink a glass of water right now I think I'd just collapse on the floor."
