A CAT is nursing a giant hangover after getting trapped in a wine cellar and surviving by getting hammered on plonk.

Aljosha drank three bottles of booze after wandering into the neighbour's house in Wurselen in Germany and getting locked in the cellar.

When he finally escaped and returned home to owner Claudia von Buren, he was clearly worse for wear and was diagnosed with alcohol poisoning. He has now sobered up and made a full recovery.
