I read an interesting article a few years back about a group in Ireland who ran 100 miles/week AND drank 100 beers (perhaps pints?) a week. The 'century century club'. For those that run 100 miles+ a week, how much do you drink? Even 70/70 would be impressive - think about th etime commitment involved with drinking 70 - 100 beers (~14 per day = 100!). Kids, jobs, relationships... ? A lot has to give.
The average human can process one alcoholic drink per hour. So if you get up and start drinking moderately throughout the day, you could do 14 per day without ever even being legally intoxicated.
when i just started running i kept up with the drinking - probably got to about 30/30 before i eas unable to get the beers in that were required to excel. i think my drinking has plateau'd at 30 so i'm now closer to 30/55. i'm hoping the summer brings some more opportunities at BBQs to drink excessivley, run a little less and perhaps i can get to 50/50. i dont think i have the dedication to ever reach 100/100
There is another thread started that is very similar. For the record, this one was posted one hour earlier. I forgot to mention that my week is 40 / 10 (miles / beers), but a friend at work suggested that he would take up running to justify his beer consumption and suggested himself that he run 1 mile for every beer he drank. That reminded me of the 100/100 club. w.r.t. the other post, I can't imagine doing it in 100 hours with sleep involved.
