A BEER-loving burglar was arrested after he drunk so much that he passed out and was caught asleep on the floor.

Adam Bell broke in to Em's Bar in Tamworth, Staffs, last month, and decided to get tanked on the free booze at his disposal.

CCTV pics show him waiting at the bar waiting to be served and drinking beer straight from the tap.

But he clearly didn't know his limit and passed out before the landlord discovered him the next morning, still asleep.

Waking up to more than just a headache, he was duly arrested and hauled away by police.

His boozy night in the pub also saw him smash up the fruit machines and pocket the change.

Bell admitted burglary and drug possession and has now been jailed for six months.

That's one hell of a hangover.
