Just finished sopranos for the first time. These are my observations:
Season 1:
- Pauli is the best character by a mile
- I want his mum to die a horrible death
- his son reminds me a LOT of the rizzler
This is going to be a long thread.
When Guinness World Records stopped tracking the record for the most beer consumed in one hour in 1989, the title was still held by 23-year-old Jack Keyes. He had set the mark two decades earlier in Northern Ireland, reportedly drinking 36 pints in a single hour in 1969.
Thirty-six pints in sixty minutes. That’s one pint every 100 seconds—a rate so extreme it seems to challenge the limits of human physiology.
A standard pint contains 568 milliliters, meaning Jack Keyes reportedly drank more than 20 liters of beer in a single hour in Belfast in 1969. For comparison, the human stomach comfortably holds about one liter at a time.
Keyes was only 23 years old when he set the record. It remained untouched in the Guinness books for two decades before Guinness World Records quietly discontinued the category in 1989, citing concerns about encouraging dangerous drinking behavior.
There was no grand finale and no last attempt to break it. The record was simply retired, leaving Keyes permanently listed as its final holder.
Ironically, Guinness World Records itself originated from a disagreement in a pub. In 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness brewery, became involved in an argument over which European game bird was the fastest. When no definitive source could settle the debate, he saw an opportunity and commissioned a reference book to answer such questions. That idea eventually grew into the world-famous Guinness World Records.
@dannyhall04 I hate to be pedantic but it’s the 7th tier, not step 7. Step 1 is the conference, and goes down like that. The ‘steps’ refer to non league.
