David Clarkson, a 69-year-old retiree from Britain who has been living in Australia for over 40 years, recently accomplished an impressive feat by visiting 120 pubs in just 24 hours. This achievement broke the Guinness World Record held by Australians Harry Kooros and Jake Loiterton, who visited 99 pubs in the same amount of time.
Clarkson began his attempt at the Captain Cook Hotel in Sydney with his first drink. Over the next day, he made his way to 119 more establishments, ordering a drink at each stop. Guinness World Records Adjudicator Pete Fairbairn joined Clarkson for the start and end of his attempt, while other witnesses accompanied him during the middle portion of his pub crawl to collect evidence.
Fairbairn officially certified Clarkson’s achievement at the Sussex Garden Bar, where he completed his record-breaking attempt. This accomplishment meant that he surpassed the previous record held by Australians Harry Kooros and Jake Loiterton.
