I saw four pints in the Sun so if we count in the two tins from earlier, Mickey-Five-Pints has only increased his tally by one rather unimpressive pint so he only qualifies as a mild (or skint) Geordie and is therefore nowhere near being a Mackem, especially as he has no experience of stealing things.Well done Mike your well on your way to be coming an adoptet Geordie.keep this up and we will have to think about promoting you to the dizzy heights of MACKEM.

No - that doesn't count as a record because it was a split-session, as witnessed by several of those present, and split-sessions are disallowed....and after last year's new record, it's Mickey Six-Pints, thank you very much!

I don't remember a split session so the 2013 record stood at 6 pints and this year bumped up to at least 7.
Bangers!

Or do you need a two way average to establish a new drinking record?

Nope - 2013 definitely had a break after the first two pints. 2014 was a much better effort, however.

You got your fuel all wrong....the pint was invented merely to line ones stomach.....
Whiskey and liquor gets you there quicker ! six large whiskeys and I would be mildly impressed.... Six pints..... Meh you end up bloated and without a curry at the end of the night.
I recall leaving a certain Sgt's mess once.... Having consumed (with two others) three bottles of rum, I made it back to my billet, but next morning I located my pal half way across the parade square minus a shoe, still in mess dress ! It's a chore running a live range whilst being sick in a bin.....
Jeez I miss drink !

When I used to work in Russia there was a tradition that once a vodka bottle was opened it had to be finished. Imagine what a trap that was! Fewer and fewer players in the game with an increasing risk of some nugget opening a new bottle. The only saving grace being that the real stuff never gives you a hangover, you just wake up as drunk as when you went to bed.
