Just out of curiosity
How much does anyone reckon a pint of Guinness weighs? I want to know whether I'll ever be able to accurately claim that I drank my bodyweight in Guinness.

I "remember" doing about 17 in the course of an afternoon and evening
before doing a commando roll across my car bonnet in the work carpark and falling into a bush after smashing the light above a pool table with a really bad shot

But how much does one weigh?
Last month, at my uncle's funeral, we managed to drink the Irish club out of Guinness. I have never been prouder of my family. Especially since my uncle died of cirrhosis of the liver.

One weighs about 14 stone at the last count.
But one is quite tall so this is acceptable.

There's no way you can drink 35 pints of Guinness.

For the sake of what is left of my liver, I'll say yes, include them.

I either need to get very skinny, very fast, or pre-order a new liver then.
Damn, another life ambition, ruined.

Or cut off both your legs and one of your arms.

Work out how many pints you can drink
and then work out what fraction of your body weight that is, and set that as your goal.

Much easier to achieve that way. "I drank 1/8th of my body weight in Guinness!!!" still sounds fairly impressive, and that's only 12.5 pints if you weighed 59.8 kilos (about 9 stone) - less if you're less and I assume you are.

If you only weighed nine stone
I doubt you'd be big enough to contain 12.5 pints of Guinness. (Let alone metabolise it without hospitalising yourself)
