There\u2019s an age old adage which says \u201cJesus died for our tins,\u201d and it seems the boys from Mad Bogan have certainly proven this to be true. Standing at over 4 meters high, Wes\u00a0from Beechboro and his mates have constructed what might be the most Australian Christmas tree of all time. The \u201ctree\u201d is made up of precisely 2,536 VB tins and took over 12 months to put together. There\u2019s also a space under the tree for presents to go, just in case Santa feels like foot falconing it to the Bottle-o to pick up a couple of slabs.<\/p>\n

If sinking an insane amount of piss isn\u2019t good enough, all of the efforts went towards raising money and awareness for Alzheimer\u2019s. The towering monument to Australian alcoholism even lights up and appears to feature a literal \u201cTin Man\u201d at the very top. Expect to see it in an Australian take on \u201cHow the Grinch Stole Christmas (and a pack of Winnie Blues)\u201d coming to legitimate cinemas soon.<\/p>\n
