100 shots of beer in 100 minutes, 1 per minute. The game finishes when you either keel over, miss your mouth with a shot, throw up or finish the 100th shot. It might not sound a lot, but one per minute and taken in shot form, it's feckin hard to finish. The furthest I've got is 72, I only know one guy who's finished it and he was fucked afterwards.
A standard shot being 4 cl, I'm therefore assuming it's the case with this one.
100 shots = 400cl of beer. A large beer (where I'm at) is 50cl or 0,5l. This means 4 liters or 8 large pints of beer, in 1h 40 minutes.
If I wish to get hammered, I drink about 5 or six large beers in the first hour or so. Certainly not impossible to complete this challenge, but it will certainly take a stout meal before doing so and a few hours for that beer to settle down.
I once did complete a 'Doping' difficulty in a drinking race at a uni here in Finland. The idea is that you have 4 hours to collect as many stamps as you can get (max being 30), you get max 3 stamps per bar, 1 stamp for a 0,33l beer or 4cl shot of vodka/tequila etc. or a glass of water (No more than 3 water stamps allowed for any participant on penalty of disqualification) To complete the 'Doping', the hardest version of this, you can have only 1 stamp from drinking a glass of water and have a total of 25 stamps (if male) or 18 (if female).
That's 24 0,33l pints of beer/equivelant amount of alcohol in 4 hours, from at least 8 different bar's and you have to be able to walk from one bar to another and to the after-party bar on your own and be lucid enough to present the ticket. Add to this the fact that there are about 800 others doing the exact same thing and you have to be able to elbow your way to the bar stand pretty fast in order to have a stand at completing this.
