A beer-loving Brit has cemented his legacy after successfully necking 2,000 pints in just 200 days, finishing the final tipple just last night (October 20).<\/p>\n
Jon May marked the occasion with a trip to Market Tavern in Atherstone, Warwickshire, where his costly booze binge came to a close.<\/p>\n
Pint-master Jon, from Guildford, was spotted enjoying another full pint just a day after completing the impressive 2,000, watching the cricket in his local. He maintains he can prove he is "not alcoholic" and in fact just a man who loves a bevvy or two (thousand).<\/p>\n

Detailing how he has stayed somewhat sober through the challenge, he told the Daily Star: "I do quite a lot of volunteering at my church and that's about three-quarters of a mile away, so I walk to my church. Then I get back, so it's about one-and-a-half miles, four days a week, which is why I've only put on a stone.<\/p>\n
"I did start to put on a little more, but then I realised if I can just do a little more exercise, it'll be alright. Your tolerance starts to grow. I probably need about 15 pints to get drunk."<\/p>\n
Jon, who stayed up "ridiculously late" and drank through the night, sometimes ending his sessions at 6am, managed his massive pints haul around his full-time job. He spent \u00a38,100 in total.<\/p>\n
"I'm going to go a week [without booze] just to prove people wrong," Jon said of his plans now. He reckons there's "not a chance" of having withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That will have to start on Sunday though. Taking to TikTok and brushing aside the 19 pints he enjoyed yesterday, Jon started his morning today with a "good old pint".<\/p>\n
He said in the video: "Still not an alcoholic, though. I refute these claims. Why a pub is open at 10.43am in the morning, I don't know, but we're watching the cricket, we're having some pints."<\/p>\n
