Bob Hawke, record-holding drinker, has died

Post by Kriegsspiel » Thu May 16, 2019 7:04 pm

Bob Hawke, world record beer drinker, has died.

Hawke, a personal drinking hero, set the Guinness World Record while attending Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar by chugging 2.5 pints (48oz, or 4 regular cans) of beer in 11 seconds. The current record is 5 seconds. Here is a video of him chugging a beer in a stadium. In addition to his feats of alcoholic prowess, he was Prime Minister of Australia.
There's this very disturbing set of studies where about half the articles printed in Science and Nature magazines, the two leading publications, involved experiments that could not be repeated by anybody.

I remember him speaking just after the America's yacht racing cup was won... (doesn't seem like 36 years ago)
