20 pints of guinness....

[Outbackjack]

Since this is called the bar, and this story tickled the old funny bone, I thought that it might be worth sharing. I hope they throw the book at him, but it still reads like a 1940's comedy.....

A FARMER in Knebworth, England who downed 20 pints of Guinness in one boozy afternoon pleaded guilty last week to being drunk in charge of a horse and cart.

Adrian Whitaker, who had also drunk five alcopops, was reported to police after holding up a stream of traffic on a narrow country lane. When the 36-year-old was finally pulled over, he fell off the cart and landed at the feet of a police officer.

Prosecuting counsel Roseanne Smith told Central Hertfordshire Magistrates Court that Mr Whitaker already has a drink-driving ban for cars. He is due to be sentenced this week.

A mate and myself had a session once where we consumed 10 pints. It took me 3 days to recover from that. I think that 20 would kill me.

20 pints - 9.42 litres = MAJOR HANG OVER, he would have to had spewed at least 4 times to get all that down.

I think that the horse should bear some of the responsibility for not being sufficiently savvy. Notwithstanding its owners decrepit state, that horse would be accustomed to its owners frequent shabby condition and should have been able to proceed on 'auto pilot' if you like, and maintain a steady pace without impeding surrounding traffic, and make its way home safely. Horses aren't dumb!

Was that one of the dry packed ones shaped like a guiness pint? (ie - you had to add water to it once you got it out the plastic?)

I found an easier way to get one, I now live with the bar girl. Got the T-shirt, the girl and no guiness!
