Good for him, that's pretty fast to run a mile & drink 4 beers in that amount of time.

It ain't like he's some scrub off the street, though. Most people can't ran a 4:55 mile. Subtract time spent chugging, and he's likely in the 4:20's, or 4:30, with a belly full of beer (close to national class. Meaning he could be a sub 4 minute miler. Or just a freak of nature that only slows down a few seconds per lap with a belly full o' beer. Either way, it's impressive. When I was in my best shape ever I was a 4:18-4:20 miler, and best beer mile I ever did (of 2) was close to 5:50.
I'm not so worried about my time...my best mile is about 6 minutes or so. I'd be more concerned about just completing the mile without vomiting. Like playing sloshball, of something of the sort. Winning isn't so important as pretending to get some exercise while drinking a beer.
