Man drinking 2,000 pints in 200 days sets himself big finisher for his final day

A man who challenged himself to drink 2,000 pints in 200 days has set a finisher to get through for his last day.

TikTok user Jon May decided to embark on the massive pint chugging mission after seeing another social media user attempting to drink 1,000 pints in a year.

Thinking he could totally outdo his boozing online rival, the 25-year-old doubled the number of beers and then almost halved the total of days he had to complete the task in – now that is a challenge.

It meant Jon would have to binge on an average of 10 pints a day, but because of losing count here and there along the boozy ride, he naturally had to tweak his daily quota to ensure he met his target.

Fair play, I’d probably lose count after three or four to be honest. One user labelled him as the ‘greatest athlete of our generation’.

Going strong, Jon posted last night to let his followers know he has now made it to day 197 and has already swigged his way through 1,984 pints – working out at around 10.07 pints a day on average – leaving himself three days to gulp through 16 pints.

In his latest TikTok update, Jon said: “We’ve got three days left, 16 pints left so we need to drink an average of 5.3.

“That’s no worries, we’re going to have five today and then we’re going to have like two on Thursday.”

So, if he has three days left and has set himself five pints for one of them and two for another, that means he’s got nine pints to get through on his last day – let’s hope he’s not feeling delicate.

And, in case you’re wondering, his last day to complete his challenge is tomorrow (October 20th) – come on Jon!

Some beer enthusiasts think Jon will breeze his way to the finish line, while others are slightly more concerned.

But Jon has every confidence in himself as he said: “No need to worry, we’ve got it all under control. We have spent £7,936 and drank a grand total of 361,088 calories. That is an average of 1,832.93 calories every single day.”

As he added: “So yeah! We are smashing it as per usual!”

Many commenters on his video were in awe of his boozing skills while others wondered about the state of his health and were left thinking of his poor liver.

One person said: “Give this man a knighthood.” Another, inspired by Jon’s efforts, put: “I’m gonna do this next year.”

And someone else wrote: “I’m very excited, cannot wait for the big day!” Meanwhile, one concerned commenter penned: “Can we get a liver check after the challenge?”

A second person chimed in: “Withdrawals are gonna be insane.”

And a third added: “How’s bro going to react when he finishes the challenge and realises he has now become an alcoholic?”

NHS alcohol guidelines state that men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis.

And those who are drinking on a more regular basis should spread those units out over the course of three or more days. For those wondering, 14 units is equivalent to six pints of average-strength beer.

It’s not rocket science to know Jon has gone way over the NHS recommendations during his drinking marathon.

But since he’s edging towards his finish line, we wish him the best of luck and hope he gives his liver a good rest afterwards.
