A 57-year-old woman in Huangshi, Hubei Province had the bright idea to go swimming in the Yangtze River after downing two bottles of 120-proof, 60% ABV baijiu liquor.

In the middle of the 6,300 kilometer-long river that stretches from the Tibetan Plateau to the East China Sea, she blacked out and awoke ten hours later, once again in the dark of night.

While she slept off her baijiu bender, however, she had floated 75 kilometers downstream, coming to in neighboring Jiangxi Province.
