VIDEO: Mans Runs Mile in 5:19 While Pounding Four Beers

It sounds like a pledge task, but this guy apparently attempted the beer mile world record under his own free will. Nick Symmonds is his name, and he’s an American olympian (finished 5th in the 800m race at the Olympics in London). The beer mile goes like this: chug a beer, run a quarter mile, then repeat three more times. He finished in a respectable 5:19. Unfortunately, and shamefully, he finished behind some flannel wearing Canuck, who finished in a swift 5:09. You have work to do, Nick.

Here’s the video:

    The fact that a canadian won makes me hurt a little on the inside. But it’s ok, they win beer mile, we win being globally relevant.

    He should have 4 prefilled cups of beer for faster chugging. It would also cut out the time and subsequent foam creation involved in cracking open a fresh brew.
