A cheeky kangaroo has been caught red-handed after stealing a can of beer from a dad-of-two – and the priceless pictures appearing to show it getting drunk have sent the internet into hysterics.

Passionate beer-lover Adam Bridges stumbled upon the relaxed roo lazing around while enjoying a peaceful afternoon picnic with his family on Tuesday in his hometown of Brisbane.

After the 42-year-old downed a refreshing beer, the environmentally conscious dad held onto the empty can for recycling – but a nearby kangaroo had other ideas.

Amused Adam said the mischievous marsupial was fascinated by the beer can – so the office worker decided to snap some hilarious photos.

The gallery seems to reveal the candid before and after snaps of the kangaroo’s boozy beer binge – which Adam said ‘we can all relate to’.

He explained: ‘I absolutely loved the pictures and everyone I’ve shown them to has just cracked up laughing.

‘It’s just so Australian. A kangaroo with a beer – what else could you want?

‘This one was just so relaxed and chilled out, which I think really made the photos.

‘It wasn’t until I looked back at the images later on that I realised how hilarious they really were.

‘I couldn’t help but laugh at his eyes and the way he was posed like that.

‘He looks absolutely hammered. I reckon he sneaked a few beers before we even got there.

‘The funniest thing was that the beer in the photos was from a local brewery and is known for being especially hoppy. Maybe he was drawn to it.

‘I think we can all relate to this kangaroo. Everyone has photos of themselves like this.’
