Yes I have.

And while running with all that freshly consumed liquid in you is no mean feat, he didn't run a mile; he ran four quarter miles with a rest between.

Good to see my teammate from college make the news. Go Tritons!

I'm impressed. Now can the 4:30 beer mile be broken? Is human physiology even capable of it?

@1 Chugging a beer in six seconds is not exactly "rest."

I used to smoke cigarettes while running my yearly 2 mile physical test in the Army. I didn't set any records, but I always finished below the minimum listed time.

He's no Doc Ellis or Jeff Phillips, but very impressive in its own right.

Wow. He did a 4:21 mile not including the stops for a beer. Amazing. Last quarter was 63.

Okay, the 4:57 while chugging beer is impressive... but did it have to be Budweiser? Blech. At least pick a decent beer instead of that swill.

Many years ago, there was a half-marathon in Wausau, Wisconsin, where four dumb ex-high school cross country runners decided to stop at every bar along the race's route and drink one beer at each bar. We found out there were A LOT of bars along the route, but we did stop at each one (and surprise a lot of bartenders along the way when we said we needed our beers FAST because we were in a race!). No problem, except that one of us tripped over a parking curb at the 13 mile mark near the finish line and broke his fall with his face. He didn't notice.
