Ok, so how many of us have broken this record but didn't want the world to know?

He orders drinks, doesn't say he drank them.

5 beer per hour sounds like a good start into a crazy night. But 24 hours of this doesn’t sound healthy for an old man.

I did something similar back in University and after about 13 hours I crawled into my tent and prepared to die. I stoped drinking heavily after that.

Yeah this is insane amount of alcohol.

I remember:

Edward scrumpy hands - you tape a 2L bottle to each hand, no removing them till they both empty.

Gandolf staff - box of canned beer. Each new beer is taped on top of the previously finished can, so you end up with this giant tower of empties taped under your current one.

Keg races - every flat on the street gets a 120L keg and races. Costumes and music a plenty.

Even a 21st where we found a liquor store closing temporarily to renovate, and they sold all their beer cheap. We bought a pallet of lion red for $400. It was stacked all round the flat prior to the event.

No way I would have ever come close to this mad man and his 120 beers.
