Do you enjoy drinking and believe it can help you set a record? You should be aware that the goal was set high by a 69-year-old man who just broke the global record by consistently drinking at more than 100 bars. You really read correctly.  An Australian man set a new record on April 12 with an astounding 120 pubs, shattering the previous mark of 99. His name was inscribed in the esteemed records for "the most pubs visited in a 24-hour period" by a single person. David Clarkson is the man's name.

The man's enthusiasm for drinks! 

It was discovered that the retired man had been going out to bars and exploring pubs since he was seventeen years old. In an interview with a media outlet, he stated that he had spent the previous three months preparing for the championship. He exclaimed, "Syndeny's nightlife is definitely a terrific site to see," and urged everyone to explore and take in the sights. "The world is full of wonderful people, and drinking just seems to spark conversation. And I adore that," he continues, celebrating his high record with a glass of beer in his hand.

David and his venture! 

David began at midday and continued to visit as many bars as he could in a 24-hour period. The first item on his list was enjoying a drink at Sydney's Captain Cook Hotel, and the final was receiving his highly anticipated album at the Sussex Garden Bar. It is interesting to note that David traveled by foot from pub to pub. It was revealed that Pete Fairbairn, the adjudicator for Guinness World Records, went out with him for the first few hours of the pub crawl.
