Former Australian prime minister Bob Hawke has delighted punters at the Sydney Cricket Ground by skolling a beer at 11:55am during day two of the New Year's Test against Pakistan.
Our oldest living Prime Minister. Outstanding.
The 87-year-old scored the loudest cheer of the day when he realised he was on the big screen and easily downed his schooner.
Really hoping Bob Hawke would finish that. #AUSvPAK
This isn't the first time Hawkie has been caught on camera necking piss.
In fact, it's pretty much his regular party trick. Here he is at the 2012 SCG Test against India.

The former Labor leader once held the world record for sinking a yard glass of beer in 11 seconds.
That was just a cameo for Bob Hawke. Here he is at his peak. #AUSvPAK
Is there anything more Australian than sinking a frothie before midday at the cricket?
The legend #BobHawke on the morning beers. #AUSvPAK
It's hard to imagine Bob Hawke losing an election in any context in any era in any country on any planet.
Cheers Hawkie!
