    '24 beers a day' Brit losing teeth at 22

    A 22-year-old man in Britain is fast losing all his teeth - because of heavy drinking.

    Nicky Welfare is an alcoholic who drinks 24 cans of strong beer and two litres of cider every day.

    He made news last May when a judge tagged him "a walking advertisement" for those who boast of drinking.

    He gave Welfare four months' jail suspended for two years for criminal damage, reports The Sun.

    Judge Philip Statman, at Maidstone Crown Court in Kent, urged Welfare to call Alcoholics Anonymous, after he was busted for driving while banned.

    Louise Oakley, defending, said: "Because of substance misuse, alcohol and drugs, he has got to have his teeth removed and have false teeth."

    Welfare lives on 60.40 a week Jobseeker's Allowance. (ANI)
