Proof that UK college students have too much time on their hands
Filed under: Activities: Babies, Day Care & Education
I went to college in the UK, where legal age to purchase alcohol is only 18 -- meaning, if you can believe it, that the drinking culture on UK campuses is even more rampent than at American universities.
Take Jack Kirby, a 23-year-old design student, for instance. He took it upon himself to drink 4 cans of Budweiser every day until he had enough to construct a life-size model of a 1965 Ford Mustang. That's a total of 4,000 cans of beer.
The fete was so impressive, that even Budweiser wanted to "congratulate Jack on his efforts." However, it's hard to say whether they were talking about the car, or the fact that Jack had drank more of their product over the last three years and any other living person.
"It was hard work," the college told the Daily Mirror.
I'm sure. Much like, say, your final exams, or a month of detox in an AA program.
