10 beers vs. 10 miles - which can be done faster?

Maybe it's the alcohol content for a little fancy boy like you, but to every other man out there with a pair of nuts, 10 beers isn't difficult.

I agree that it's NOT the alcohol that makes it difficult. If you were doing a beer/alcohol mile, shots would totally be easier, because in total, you'd have 6oz tops in your stomach. Much easier to run with that than 48oz. Just think about the difference between taking a shot and shotgunnin'/chugging a beer. Sure the shot may taste bad, but that's it. The stomach discomfort (until the burp) makes the chug/shotgun harder.

Also, the vomit inducing property I was referring to was with milk, not beer/alcohol. Certain poison control directions instruct the victim to drink large quantities of milk to induce vomiting.

I tried to down a gallon of 2% in thirty minutes. The vomitting was explosive.

Im not sure what this is worth but I did a power hour last spring which was 60 x 1.5 ounce shots of beer in 60 minutes. That works out to 90 ounces of beer. I had no problem at all with that, and barely felt the alcohol til the last 10 minutes or so. My friend though who is much closer to being an alcoholic than myself, puked after 30 minutes. It all depends on the person and their stomach, not their drinking habits, which in a way proves the point about it being the carbonation and the volume more than the alcohol. I dont think my friend could have done it with soda.

i've beer bonged 12 beers in 45 minutes, there is no way that the runner even has a chance.

10 beers vs 10 kilometers.

Get a decent club guy who can run under 30, and I think you definitely have a considerable challenge for the beer drinker. Roughly one beer every three minutes would be tough. No vomiting and no shotgunning/funneling. I don't think I could have done that in my "drinking prime" (whatever the fuk that means), and I could drink a good amount of beer.

Yeah! Great adjustment to make it close.

That's about 350ml.

10 beers.

I could do that with corona (if I absolutely had to), and I'm female.

I'd be very, very ill though the next day.

haha

i think consuming anything while running is gonna make it tough, and ultimately humorous. The alcohol isnt the deciding factor, and its not so much the drunkenness (?), but the fact that alcohol makes you feel like a$$.

If you did a standard beer mile, then did one with the same volume of carbonated grain alcohol (humor me), it would be pretty clear which one was harder. What makes the beer mile so great is not the separate parts of the event, but the sum. Carbonation + alcohol + running = death

A bunch of us did that on Thursday night, having already consumed over 20 beers over the course of the day. We started the day at 11am with a beer mile and progressed from there.

All this to offer my personal opinion on which feat is harder:

I think the beer-drinking will be done faster than the run IF (and this is a big IF) he can hold off puking. As mentionned previously, it's not the alcohol, it's the foaming and carbonation of the beers. But 5 mins. per beer isn't fast at all, so he should be able to do it without having a full stomach. The last 2 or 3 beer might hurt cause he may be getting a bit tipsy, but still...5 mins a beer? That's nothing!

BTW, I tried doing a pepsi 800m and it hurt WAY more than any beer mile I've ever done. Pepsi has more carbonation and makes it harder to chug.

I am a competitive runner and definitely not an alcoholic and 10 beers in an hour can easily be done. I drink once a week and can easily throw down 8 to 9 in an hour, with definite room for #10. We need to specify something here. A person could drink 10 beers in 10 minutes and the alcohol is not going to hit him/her right away. Alcohol, just like food, takes time to digest and each additional beer takes probably another 20 minutes before a person is able to feel it. So, if it takes each beer 20 minutes to get into your system and the person averages 1 beer every 5 minutes/ 10beers times 5 minutes = 10 beers in 50 min. then it would take approximately 100 minutes for the person to feel their drunkest. Anyway, one beer every 5min. is probably pretty easy, so actually getting the beers in wouldn't be the problem. The problem would be how long it would be before the person vomited or died! I say if the guy who drinks the beers does not vomite or manages not to vomit or die after he has drank the beer after the runner finishes, then he should win!

Other than "one lap of the track", what are the odds that a female could drink 10 beers in 50 mins?

I dated a gal who could chug a 5th of rum in less than 10 mins so 10 beers in 1 hour is easy. Even for a gal.

Must have been a fun date.

Damn....the combined amount of effort put into this thread could have been funneled into an almost certain, painless cure to cancer.

Instead, a lively debate on beer consumption, the amount of time to metabolize such product as it relates to racing 10 miles before 120 ounces are consumed. Pretty cool.

No way

anyone ever run a beer 2 mile?

my roomate in college, with the help of a funnel knocked down ten beers in ten minuts without puking.

You've already been proven wrong by several posters, but.......

if you can't realize that drinking 10 shots of alcohol in a certain amount of time is OBVIOUSLY easier to do than driking 10 beers in that same amount of time, then you are nuts.

YES......there is a puking factor, but if you manage that, then 10 shots in ONE minute would be doable(and I am SURE some alcoholics have done it before). You'd be really hammered, possibly black out, but......you could certainly do it fast. It's doable and been done I am sure.

10 beers in 1 minute ? Physically impossible.

So your 2 40's is really not that impressive.
