While drinking today I accepted a challenge from an Irishman.

The challenge is to drink 8 pints of Guinness in under 20 minutes.

I have always been facinted by Ireland so I would be very happy to complete or at least attempt the challenge.

Wish me luck,any advice are also welcome.

A pint in the states is 16 oz. A pint in the uk/ireland is 20 oz. Google says a full stomach is 1.5 litres (67 oz) but can expand to double that when bing eating.

160oz of liquid sounds impossible. Even 128 sounds uncomfortable.

God speed. I guess no one said you had to keep it down.
