The video shows the scene: the man momentarily held his knees in sadness as he sadly picked up the ice packet and the six-pack that survived the great fall. There is no indication as to what caused the bottle to break, but it is clear from his body language that his mood was spoiled.

While it may be funny, people in the past have committed heinous crimes because of broken liquor bottles.

Three teenage girls reportedly killed a young man for breaking a bottle of alcohol. The women stabbed him to death last year after he went to a tavern in Cape Town with five girls. He wanted to leave with one of them, and when they turned him down, he angrily took the bottle of booze they had, claimed he had bought it and shattered it. One of them stabbed him in the neck with the broken bottle, and they stone him to death.
