Australians Set Sail On Boats Made Of Beer Cans And We Wholeheartedly Approve

Relish the scene: a sun-drenched beach in Australia's Northern Territory, a veritable world away from the shores of Great Britain.

And on this beach, a fleet of beverage-based ships sailing into the distance.

Yes, beverage-based, because these awesome vessels are made of beer cans (we can only assume empty ones). And atop them, Australians, drinking more beer to make more empty cans. Truly visionary.

The best part? This happens EVERY YEAR.

It's called the Beer Can Regatta and it's hosted annually in Darwin, bringing out the best in everyone involved.

Because it produces things like this:

So forget Wimbledon. Forget Rio. 

The Beer Can Regatta is where it is AT.
