Matthew ocConaughey has indulged in a three-day drinking binge in Costa Rica following his split with Penelope Cruz. The `Failure To Launch’ star issued a joint statement together with his ex-girlfriend last month saying, “We have decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, we mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time.” The actor has been spotted partying several nights, with onlookers claiming that on one occasion he hogged the dance floor at a local club wearing only a pair of shorts before collapsing on the floor.
