You don't need the beers. Just run 100 miles in 100 hours.
I missed that thread. Anyone have a link to it?
2 miles every hour.

This guy has a point. After you finish, no more drinks until Christmas. If you can make it that long, you aren't an alcoholic.
A half dozen Beloit College grads did a one-week 100/100 (100 Guiness cans/100 miles) in summer 2002 (incl. former stroller marathon WR holder Zac Freudenberg, although now that I think about it Zac got sick from the beer and ended up doing 80/120 to try to make up for it). Of those who attempted it, only one came up short. All different approaches were attempted, such as 27 Guiness the first day but light miles and vice cersa). With guest interlopers I think we recycled about 900 cans.
Great school
Great school, solid program. Some local alums are thinking about giving it an attempt this winter.

Ya know, I saw this triple done back in the ? early 80's or late 70's (YP ,where are you now?). Isle of Man....yes...imperial pints. The fact that folks are still debating if it can be done with pathetic 8 oz cans or something, tells me that either YP was truly exceptional in this area, or that guys just can't drink and run like they used to. (Probably both).
There is a third possibility: you're an old man whose memory is becoming hazy with time. Go home old man, the nurses are getting worried and us young people don't find your age baiting amusing.
