The New Beer Champion of the World!

Think you can handle a lot of beer mugs? Wait'll you hear about this guy.

A German waiter has broken a world record by carrying 27 full mugs of beer at one time.

...

Oliver Struempfel, who has worked at the beer tent for 17 years, revealed a lot of hard work is needed to break the record.

"It is no longer enough to just carry the mugs, but you have to support the training by going to the gym, especially in Winter when you don't get much time carrying the beer mugs," he told Reuters.

"It has happened to me before that some beer mugs have fallen down. Three years ago, 23 beer mugs fell down at once."

 

If you're counting at home, that's 136lbs of beer.

I love the thought of this guy beasting at the gym and having this conversation with a fellow fitness enthusiast:

"So, what are you training for?"

"I'm going for my third straight Mr. Olympia trophy. How about you?"

"I'm trying to lift a lot of beer mugs."

Now that he's set this record, I'd like to see him try from different angles. Maybe try seeing how many he could carry after drinking 27 mugs.
