There are a lot of college kids who think that they can drink a pint, mug or stein of beer faster than any of their buddies. No doubt that there are some who are quite quick on the draw, but when it comes to Guinness, there can only be one fastest drinker. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest pint of stout was downed in a mere 2.1 seconds by Peter Dowdeswell in London, on April 24, 2001. The stout was Guinness. Mr. Dowdeswell is a competitive eater and avid beer drinker, who began his career after deciding to try to break every beer-drinking record in the 1975 book of world's records. He also drank a yard of ale (2 liters) in 5 seconds.
