It's time for a news update! Today on 'This Just In' I bring you cautionary tales of drinking and spending to excess.
1. First up is a story about when friendly neighborhood feuds go wrong...
BITHLO, Fla. – Authorities said a man threw a vodka cocktail at his neighbor's trailer, but the wind shifted and set fire to two cars, a pickup and a travel trailer in the man's own yard. The Florida Highway Patrol reported that a 51-year-old man got into a fight with his neighbor on Tuesday night and threw the makeshift gasoline bomb.
Authorities believe alcohol was involved.
Really? What made them think alcohol was involved? Don't people in Florida normally throw gas bombs at their neighbors and end up blowing up their own car too? I don't know if I could've drawn that conclusion. I'm no detective, that's fo' shizzle!
2. I'm only posting a headline on this one... I don't need to read the article. This headline is definitely a Spoiler Alert!!!

Police in a Detroit suburb say a teenager has been charged with lighting an unconscious man's pants on fire and causing a third-degree burn to the man's groin. Police in Ferndale, Mich., said 18-year-old Tyler Quick was arraigned Friday on a charge of assault.
Tyler Quick was attending a party at the home of a 51-year-old man when the host passed out.
