A California man was so desperate for a glass of merlot that he scaled a moving wine truck and tried to drink straight from the tank. The suspect, Gabriel Moreno, got the tanker to pull over by using his hazard lights.  He then jumped onto the big rig and climbed underneath it as it began to move again, undoing the valve so he could drink the red wine inside.

The driver pulled over after he noticed he was spilling wine all over the highway.  About 1,000 gallons total were spilled and Moreno, who was clad in his underwear this entire time, was arrested.

What would you do for a glass of wine?
