Guinness has less alcohol in it than most (non-light) beers, to the best of my knowledge.

Yes but it's thicker than fucking Jello!

My guess is it was Heinekin or Stella Artois or something.

Not unless he was a wealthy Slovak. 60 bottles? Probably a local brand.


And Guinness is real smooth and easy to drink... I'd probably be able to piss my way through granite after 60 bottles, though.

He could also have just warmed the bottles up by keeping them next to his skin and then used the warm beer to melt the snow.

I guess that wouldn't have been as good a story though.

My best in one sitting was 30 cans of bud over about an 8 hour period at the beach (4th of July).

Scared myself so much with that performance that I quit drinking for months afterwards.

That depends on which country you drink it in.

Guiness (and most other well known beer brands) vary the amount of alcohol dramatically from country to county.

afaik, most beer sold in Eastern Europe generally has more alcohol than the US, but less than for instance Ireland, where everyone is insane, and appears to enjoy drinking rocket fuel.

Bottled export Guiness is 6% ABV.

30 cans of Bud? I'm not that much into lemonade but to each his own I guess.  :-)

My favourite accomplishment would have been New Years Eve, about 1997 I think, at the Blarney Stone pub in Vancouver. Downed 11 pints of Guiness in about three hours and ate a Turkey dinner. I only weighed about 140 lbs at the time.

Surprisingly that was the same night we accidently wandered in to a butch lesbian bar at about 1 am. Its a good thing excesive alcohol inhibits memory, I'd rather not remember that bar.

It'd take much longer, though, and he wouldn't have any external source of energy that way.  Drinking the beer (with all the calories therein) would be the most efficient way to convert it into thermal energy + water.  If you just warmed the beer up with your own body heat, you'd end up pouring those calories out into the snow and you'd go hypothermic that much sooner.

Good point Samwise, didn't think of the heat dissapation/replentishment aspect.  You are right the calories gained from consuming the beer would aid you greatly in staying alive long enough to 'work' your way out.

Beach, 4th of July, i.e. 100 degree sunny weather swimming, playing volleyball, football and frisbee.   I wouldn't take anything but a light american beer in those conditions.  The lighter the better.
