Some people sip their beer like they’re at a fancy wine tasting. Others? They inhale it like they’ve been stranded in the desert for days. But have you ever wondered just how fast a human can down a pint? And more importantly—could you do it faster?
Meet the Pint-Chugging Champion
The fastest pint ever recorded was obliterated in 0.45 seconds by Stephen Greenwood, a man whose throat must be made of pure wizardry. That’s less time than it takes to sneeze, blink, or pretend you didn’t see your mate when it’s their round.
How Is That Even Possible?
Drinking beer this fast isn’t just about having a high tolerance—it’s a sport. And like any sport, it takes skill, technique, and a worrying lack of self-preservation. The pros swear by these methods:
🍺 Throat Like a Waterslide – No sipping, no swallowing—just open up and let physics do its thing.
🍺 Perfect Pint Tilt – Hold your glass like a pro to avoid awkward air bubbles (and that unattractive beer burp aftermath).
🍺 Carbonation Counts – Less fizz, faster chug. A fizzy pint will just fight back.
Could You Beat the Record?
Let’s be honest—probably not. But if you fancy embarrassing yourself in front of your mates, here are some highly scientific tips:
✅ Choose Your Beer Wisely – A light, smooth beer goes down faster than a thick, foamy one. (We recommend O.J. Beer, obviously.)
✅ Temperature Trick – Ice-cold beer? Too harsh. Room-temp? Weird. Cool beer? Just right.
✅ Deep Breaths – Hyperventilating beforehand won’t win you any prizes, but it might stop you from choking.
Final Thought: Maybe Just Enjoy Your Beer?
Sure, breaking records sounds fun—until you realise you’re now that guy who tried and failed spectacularly. So whether you’re a speed demon or a slow sipper, O.J. Beer is here to be enjoyed. But hey, if you do manage to set a new record, let us know—we’ll buy you a pint. (To drink at a normal pace this time.) 🍻
