    Beat this if you can! UK Man sets Guinness World Record for drinking continuously for 17 hours in 67 pubs
    The 22-year-old took on the task of visiting the most bars in 24 hours as an individual. Crimp ended up drinking in 67 pubs in the Brighton area of England for over 17 hours.

    Digital Desk: A British man broke the Guinness World Record by drinking in 67 different bars in roughly 17 hours, making a record. The Englishman is identified as Nathan Crimp by Liverpool Echo. The 22-year-old accepted the challenge of having the most pubs visited in a 24-hour period. 

    In the span of 17 hours, Crimp consumed alcohol at 67 bars in the English city of Brighton. The youngster wasn't by himself during the challenge; he was joined by two companions. Crimp admitted that tackling the challenge was one of the hardest things he had ever done in his life while talking about his new world record.

    The task, according to the 22-year-old, did seem difficult until it actually was. It was undoubtedly the most difficult thing I've ever done. I fully misjudged how difficult it would actually be, he admitted. 

    The youngster had a well-thought-out plan on how to break the record, but everything ultimately came crashing down. Crimp tried to stay sober for the first 25 bars he went to, but after only 15 bars, he gave up. After that, the young person tried to change things up by choosing a non-alcoholic drink in one pub while drinking alcohol in another.

    "The goal was to try to keep it sober for the first 25 bars, but 15 bars in, that idea was abandoned. I had to change it up a little bit, so I attempted to space it out by drinking alcohol in one glass and non-alcoholic in another," he explained. 

    But in addition to attempting to stay sober, Crimp found it difficult to drink enough fluids. He reportedly claimed to have consumed 20 to 30 litres of alcohol in just 17 hours. The world record holder made light of the fact that using the restroom frequently was what consumed most of his time while completing the task.

    The hardest part, according to Crimp, was continually having to use the restroom, which consumed the majority of his time. Crimp praised his buddies for showing up to help him at the same exchange. The young man claimed he was bloated from drinking, and it was his pals who kept explaining to the places he went to about the challenge he was trying to complete. If it weren't for his buddies, Crimp said that he wouldn't have made it past 30 pubs on his own. And they were the ones that informed the pub about what we were doing when I was too swollen to speak. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to finish it and I doubt I would have made it through pub 30," he said.

    Notably, before Nathan Crimp, Gareth Murphy held the record for visiting 56 pubs in Cardiff in 10 hours.
