OSLO, Norway - A Norwegian arrested for driving with a bellyful of booze claims only his teeth were full of liquor.

The 44-year-old man failed a breathalyzer test when he was stopped by police, the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten reported Friday.

He claimed the test result was too high because of vodka trapped in cavities in his bad teeth.

[This is a very common habit among drunks. They store booze in their teeth against the winter months when booze is so much harder to come by.]
