Guinness joke

I found myself in a pub in Cork, Ireland. A group of American tourists came in.
One of the Americans said, in a loud voice, "I hear you Irish think you're great drinkers.
I bet $5,000 that no one here can drink 20 pints of Guinness in 30 minutes."
The bar was silent, but the American noticed one Irishman leaving. No one took up the bet.
40 minutes later, the Irishman who left returned and said, "Hey Yank, is yer bet still on?"
"Sure" said the American, "20 pints in 30 minutes for a bet of $5,000."
Grand, "replied the Irishman, "so pour the pints and start the clock."
It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds to spare.
"OK Yank, pay up." said the Irishman.
"I'm happy to pay, here's your money" said the American.
"But tell me, when I first offered the wager, I saw you leave. Where did you go?'
"Well sir", replied the Irishman, "$5,000 is a lot of money to a man like me, so I went to the pub across the road first to see if I could do it.

I drank 19 pints of Guinness in an all dayer once ( there was plenty of food taken for soakage!). Got into a competition with this girl I was going out with. She reckoned she could have a glass for every pint I had. Bitch was pouring her drink into a flower pot beside her. I only copped it after 16 pints. She got thick and fecked off to the mobile home we were staying in. ( Don't know why she got thick ). I stayed on and had another 3 pints.  You know what the best thing about it all, was?? I had the keys of the mobile home!! 

It's been mention on here before, the Worlds End Pub Edinburgh,,, this goes back pre the murders, they had the yard of ale and a three pint Gunnies glass challenge, free drinks if you done it, I could down pints in one go about four seconds, so we say can I have a go at the three pint Gunnies glass but with lager, staff say prove your up for it so I neck a pint so they fill up the Gunnies glass, just as I start my mate whacks me in the stomach saying watch him do this,,,  his punch obviously hit the spot, got about two pints down then almost throw up,,, was a great pub in those days, folk singing..

Was in there myself. Great mix of peeps there
