Man's 60 pint drinking binge

A MAN stumped doctors when he walked into a hospital emergency room complaining of blurred vision and a constant headache.

The 37-year-old had swollen optical nerves and bleeding nerve fibres but doctors at the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow, could not tell what had caused it.

All became clear when the patient revealed he had consumed 60 pints in the last four days - prompted by 'a domestic crisis'.

sixty pints, that's a lot!

Is the "MAN" (in caps) supposed to imply that A woman could not live after downing 60 pints? Well, of course SHE could NOT.

It's the Sun so I think sexism is highly unlikely.

just because he drank 60 pints doesnt mean his bloodstream took in 60 pints worth of alcohol. many times the digestive system will shut down and cease metabolising in cases of extreme binge drinking.

I dunno... the guy had to go through 6 f*cking months of treatment afterwards... perhaps he did absorb that much alcohol.

First I thought it was 60 pints in one sitting. I was like, "Damn, now that's impressive." But then I find out it's four days???? Come on, that ain't news. That's a 4-day weekend for thousands of drunk bastards worldwide.

A pint is more than a 500ml can. You also probably drink piss water like bud or some thing.

1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces... so that's 1 and 1/2 cans of beer per glass in the U.S. It was also Scotland, I doubt he was drinking weak beer like a Budweiser or Corona. Hats off to the Scots.

Glasgow is the alcoholics and knife crime capital of the world.

Seems like it would be 1-1/3 cans of beer.

Yeah, Scottish beer would kick Bud or Miller's ass. I could have probably only averaged 8 per day.

My bad, you're correct, 12 oz in a beer can. I rarely drink beer, if I do, it's a Guiness from the tap, all other beer is shit, imo.

It's likely it was a European strong lager. It might even have been "Special Brew" favoured by the scots and almost a Barley Wine at about 9% proof.
