Take this challenge and win a pub.
You yanks seem well up for your challenges and resulting bets and I salute you for it.
Every year in a small market town called Helston located in Cornwall England they have a festival called Flora day. To mark this occasion a local brewer makes an ale called Spingo special which you can only drink at a pub called the Blue Anchor. Each Flora day the Landlord of the Pub paints a white line in the courtyard of the Pub. Tradition has it that if you can drink 20 pints of Spingo special and walk in a straight line down the white line you win the deeds of the pub. Spingo special is a distinct brew. I estimate its alcohol content to be around 8.5% which is of course high for a beer. However as anyone will tell you who has drunk the stuff, there is some secret ingredient. This stuff sends you mad after about 3 pints. It has a hit all its own and is legendery for it. So, no offence intended but Yanks have a piss poor international respect rating for being able to handle their drink. Maybe this is the time for someone to step up be counted. Be warned though, both russians and scots have attempted this and been crushed by the Spingo. These two races of men are hard HARD hard drinkers. Can you walk the white line?

Re: Take this challenge and win a pub.
Can you start at the opening time and try to walk the line at closing? How will the new 24 hour legislation affect this?
I couldn't do this, but surely someone can?

Re: Take this challenge and win a pub.
How long do you have to drink the 20 beers? I think that given a long enough time, this could easily be done.

Re: Take this challenge and win a pub.
Its hard to explain the potency of this beer.
As an example. My mate Carn drank about 7 pints of this stuff one Christmas Eve when our local Pub "The Dock" had some made up to celibrate Christmas. He awoke on Christmas day to find he had gotten up in the middle of the night and taken a dump in his room on the floor. All I remember is Carn becoming incoherent and conversing in grunts after about 3-4 pints and just walking up to prety girls and groping/pawing them blatently without pause for an introduction after about 5 pints. To put this into further perspestive. We are not at college, we were/are in our 30s at the time and have both been around the block as far drinking is concerned. Carn is one of the sturdiest drinkers I know.
