fastest beer miles

Wow. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. You're the MAN!

nate brannen's PR is 11 minutes, according to an interview on www.olemissxc.com

seeing as how me and my friends don't drink, we ran a milk mile with the same rules as the beer mile only with a full cup of milk. I ran 5:45 for the win. Granted it isn't as hard as the beer mile by alot, but I was still stoked.

I think its impossible to drink a can of beer or pop in less than five seconds (without shotgunning it). I did the pop mile once and basically just tipped the can upside down pouring into my mouth (at least on the first lap). It definately took more than five seconds, probably more like 8-10

I just took an empty 12 ounce can, filled it with water, and timed how long it took to pour out. Did it three times and averaged 7.98 seconds.

You've got to keep in mind, though, that you are allowed to "wander" through 4x4 exchange zone. So, you actually start 10m into the lap and finish 10m early(ie, run 380m) and walk while chugging the beer(20m). So you're really doing 4x380.

I did my first beer mile in 7:20 and was primed to run fast the following year. Went thru 800(2 beers/2 laps) in 2:35 before getting busted by the cops. Luckily we had a hot chick on our team talk the cop out of bringins us in.

Supposedly Karl Keska ran 4:44 while at Oregon. Karl was an Olympian(8th?) in the 10,000 for G.B.

Karl ran 4:54. He did, however, drink from a cup. Pretty impressive anyways and from what I heard there was no spilling allowed either so he wasn't wearing half of it. I did not believe him but Dan Das Neves backed up the story when Karl wasn't around.

I just did a wine 1500. 5 laps on a 300m track. I poured a bottle of wine into 5 glasses and drank one every lap. Kinda hot right now (83deg). Did it in 4:29. Now, the party begins SOA/CAS exams suck.

Carrying forward another thread, What do you think I could run 100m in naked with a pineapple on my head?

BAM! Within statistical error I was dead on! I guess the timer in my head is just as good as a timex!

THE GODFATHER HIMSELF RAN A 6:15 AND ANYONE HERE READING THIS KNOWS WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT. GO FREDDIE!

You are forgetting that this is NOT the quickest way to drink from a can or bottle. If you just turn the can upside down then the pressure inside the can is not the same as the atmospheric pressure. This increases the time that that the liquid takes to flow out. It isn't really anything all that complex.

If you watch the best drinkers they will always have a gap where air is able to get into the can or bottle ie liquid is not covering all of the cross sectional area of the opening. This means that there are really only two main forces acting on the liquid ie gravitational and friction with the can/bottle. If you just turn the can upside down then there is antoher force acting against gravity resulting from the difference in pressure inside and outside the can.

So really the best way is to start out with the can at not too great an angle to the horizon and gradually increase that angle as the contents decrease. That is the art of sculling, maximising the flow rate at every point in time. The drinking part is easy.

getting technical.... I've done both the chocolate milk and beer mile...

choco milk: 5:17.4

Beer: 6:23.2

if you tilt your head back and crush the can it takes about 3-4 seconds to get all the beer out.... if you practice...

Unofficial Kiwi record.

Here in New Zealand in the late 60's saw a race called "Steinlager Miles".

Idea was you drank a Steinlager (375ml) and ran a mile, both had to be completed under 7 mins.

If you puked you were out of the race.

Record is 16 miles & 16 Steinlagers held by a guy called Evan Maguire who ran a 28:15 10k in 1968. Ran the 10k at Mexico that same year but got hammered by the Altitude and DNF'd

One hell of a tough runner.

Yo Hannsen,

Times have changed. They'ved shortened the race to 5 miles. They still maintain the "no vomit may hit the ground or you're disqualified" rule.

Speaking of lost traditions, I asked the current team about the race to Newark......they've never heard of it!!

Sorry mate, I'm from Australia. You obviously haven't been down here and seen people drink. One of our former Prime Minister's held the world record for sculling a pint (back in the 1950's in his days as a Rhode's Scholar). A former test cricketer drank 50 odd beers on a flight to London etc.

The standard size drink down here (in Sydney) is a schooner (425mL). Seen plenty of guys do that in under 4s. Out of a can or bottle (375mL) I have seen a number of guys finish them off in ~5s (without shotgunning or any other aids).

Unless you guys are drinking from half litre cans or something (which I doubt because most of you f***ers can't figure out what a litre, metre or kilogram is) then you probably just can't drink as well as we can. Probably because your 'beer' (if Budweiser even deserves that distinction, lolly water would be a more appropriate title) is so shit.
