Triple Century attempt

You're gonna need to do better than 8oz beers. 33cL is a little less than 12oz, but I believe the functional metric equivalent in cans to the U.S. 12oz can.

Pics or you’re waisting both your time and our time.

This. I have no idea where you can find beers so small, but 25cl (250ml) is not a full beer. The smallest that would be ok is 330ml, but in Canada most cans of beer are 355ml. If you’re going to try to do this and only drink 25cl beers don’t post here, post on the Mike Rossi thread for cheaters.

Can you people f*cking read? The OP said this and is obviously foreign.

"(mainly for logistics, since where I am it is how most beers are sold)."

And I even said that I would not care about people pointing at this very specific issue. Most of my beers are at 6% or above, so 25cL have the same content as a 37.5cL 4% Bud light can (do the math). Whatever.

For the one asking for pics, no problem, what would you want to see? My graveyard of empty bottles? My Strava activities? But I still know that whatever I provide, it won't be enough to prove that I really did it and I don't care: I'm not Rob Young aiming for an entry in the Guinness Book (btw I'm not doing it for charity). I'm just sharing here a stupid but fun adventure I'm about to have.

Pics of empties and screenshots of Strava routes/runs would be fun to see. I'm looking forward to following along!

When I did my bicentennial (100 beers/100 miles/1 week) I put up pictures of my watch and stacks of empties from the day. This was before imgur/Strava/Garmin connect/etc though. If I were you I'd just create an imgur album, link it here, and update it after every run.

Sorry, but you're just wrong about this.

The OP should follow beer mile rules.

Pertinent parts:

5. Competitors must drink canned beer and the cans should not be less than 355ml (the standard can volume) or 12oz (the imperial equivalent). Bottles may be substituted for cans as long as they are at least 12 oz (355 ml) in volume.

8. Beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. Hard ciders and lemonades will not suffice. The beer must be a fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from malted cereal grains and flavored with hops.

This. Absolutely this.

A standard beer is 355mL, or 12 fl. oz (355.004 mL).

Therefore, if where you are only sells 250 mL cans/bottles (where is that, it seems ridiculous), then in order to fulfill the deal, you will require exactly 142 bottles/cans of the size of beer you will be consuming (100 x 355 mL = 35,000 and 142 x 250 mL = 35,000 mL. As you already agreed to, must be 5% as well.

Good luck.

Best of luck m8, will be monitoring this thread so see if you become an legend.

I've been wanting to try this challenge myself but have a full time job and haven't broke 65 miles in a single week yet. Maybe in a couple years.

Oooop, just re-read the OP.

33 cL is 330 mL. Not 250 mL. I apologize for not reading correctly.

Therefore, I amend my last post. You will require only 106 of your beers. That equals 34,980 mL. I will let you get away with not requiring the final 20 mL.

Again, good luck.

Don't let the retarded LR haters get you down - go kick some ass! And post some watch and empties pictures

.

Where in the world is this where they have these tiny beer bottles of high alcohol beer? Russia? I’ve been all over the world and I have not seen these little 6% beers you are going to drink.

Okay, so to avoid any confusion (as I made yet another error of course (I hate math), here are the final rules, in bold:

100 can/bottles of 12 oz or 355 mL beers = 35,500 That's the number we are shooting for.

107 33 cL cans or bottles of 5% beer (which equals 35, 310 mL.

108 33 cL cans or bottles of 5% beer (which equals 35, 640 mL.

So, you should go for 107.5 bottles/cans of 33 cL beer. (35,470 mL = close enough)

Sorry for the errors, and yet again, good luck.

During the 100/100/100 are you allowed to drink something other than beer?

If I don't drink the beer, could I realistically do 100/100/50 where the 50 is 12 oz of water? Would only drinking that small amount of water simulate the dehydrating affect of all that beer? I'd like to do the 100/100/100 but I don't drink alcohol and need an acceptable replacement for the beer since I don't drink alcohol anymore.

Wow, happy to see a veteran over her! I hope to join the club in a few days. Thanks for the advice, I will try to set this up later.

Guys, as I said before, I do not need to follow any of the rules you are pushing. You are not the judges of a competition, I'm gonna do whatever I want. Call me Mike Rossi if that pleases you, I really don't care. Half-pint 5% rate is considered as 1 alcohol unit here, so that's what I decided to go with.

Anyway tonight after work, I drank the first one and went for a jog. As boredom was the main issue, I ran to my stadium and did the warm-up of my friends doing real runners business, before leaving for my long run. It dragged the average pace down, but speed is no relevant here, as long as I have time to drink and recover. 21,52mi, 6:47min/mi. Felt easy even if I got thirsty very soon and needed to pee. Well beer is a diuretic and need water to be digested so it is no surprise.

I'm 1L down, I need to eat because I feel buzzed.

If you don't care what other people say or think, then why are you posting this publicly?

You clearly are doing it, at least in part, to show an accomplishment to other people in order to receive recognition.

This thread should be titled "Triple Century Attempt with Little Beers"
