Forget the beer mile, how fast could you run a half marathon where you would have to drink a beer after each mile? This kid in the video ran 1:43:42.

Where was the last 0.1 beers?
I'd like to see someone drink five 18 packs while doing a 5x18
Was this during the morning? If so not impressed. If you have to drink in the morning, then you might have a problem.

thats for the homies in the ground
1:43:42 seems kind of easy... props to him for doing it, because idk if I'd ever be able to get a friend to lug beers around for me.
Even if you were doing mile loops and could set your beer down somewhere, who makes a 13-pack?
Those "miles" are probably more like 1200 meters. But can't imagine how sloshy the last half hour of that would feel.
Can you imagine how terrible he would feel after this? 13 beers? Drunk. Puking. Plus just having run a half.
I'd be a DNF for sure. Probably puke a couple times before dropping out around the 7 mile mark I'd imagine.
What is dead? But seriously though, so slow. Like 2+ hours or something. I know that how sloshy I'd feel would definitely lead to puking and the last thing I'd want to do is continue on at the same clip after spewing everything

There was already a thread on this recently. The consensus was it wouldn't be legit unless steel reserve was used.
Maybe 5 or 6 hours.
I wonder if I would be the last person in a local half marathon if I did this. I don't know how soon they open the course for most half marathons but I probably wouldn't make it in time for an official time.
Some college teammates and I did essentially this one year. I cant remember the exact details but it was about 5.5 or 6miles with 6 beers strategically located around town. The beers were not equal distance apart so some legs were farther. Bottom line this wasn't very tough for a lot of us. If you could stomach that much beer in your stomach and keep burbing while you ran it was manageable, granted there were a few throw ups. But the fastest times were right around 6min mile pace, factoring in chugs. So someone who is good at this could easily be under 40min.
Granted we weren't using Steel, we were usuing PBR, I'm sure steel would add some time and increase the vomit rate.
1:42:42 half beerathon = ~7:54.62 per beer+mile
There is a Beer5Mile race in Buffalo NY on the night before thanksgiving every year. 1 beer, 1 mile, 5 times. Winner usually goes under 30mins (puking penalty is an extra mile). It's quite the spectacle. Is it sustainable for 2.5x the distance? Very doubtful. But I'm guessing some of them could average slightly faster than 7min miles and 1 min beers and be competitive with the 1:43:42 guy in the vid (8 mins per mile+beer = ~1:44:53 half marathon)
About two days. After 3 miles/beers I'd be fairly buzzed, after 4 I'd have debilitating cramps, and after 6 I'd be stumbling around too drunk to move in a straight line. I'd probably fall asleep for a good few hours, try it again a few more beers/miles, give up and go home out of frustration nausea and headaches, come back to it out of stubbornness, and eventually stammer across the finish line.
Probably would be a great way to make sure I never enjoy neither beer nor running ever again.

You did essentially this? No you didn't. Remember how hard it was at the end so you were puking? You still had over 7 miles left. What would your pace have been then big fella? Way to take a HM beer thread and turn it into your personal douchey story.
