Usually we would say nothing good can come from slamming eight tequila shots in a row. But for every poor soul out there who wakes up on a park bench with an old sock in his mouth, it seems there's also a teenager whose binge drinking led to the discovery of a tumor in his brain. Right?

OK, while that statement may not be "factually" accurate, 13-year-old Evan Hamilton did manage to save his own life by succumbing to peer pressure and knocking back eight shots before heading off to school.

Unsurprisingly, his school day didn't last long, since he was rushed to the hospital with alcohol poisoning after passing out. Doctors at the UC Davis Medical Center conducted a CT scan and found a tumor growing in Evan's brain, which has since been removed successfully.

What's the lesson to be learned from this? Only that if you must drink, do it early in the day, because not only will you cure yourself of cancer, you'll also get out of school. Double points.
