A beer-lover has completed an epic drinking challenge to sink 2,000 pints in 200 days - costing him a staggering £18,000. <br /><br />Jon May has been necking 10 pints a day for the past six-and-a-half months and says he hasn't had a single hangover so far. <br /><br />The 25-year-old decided to embark on the marathon pub crawl after seeing someone on Tiktok trying to drink 1,000 pints in a year. <br /><br />He reckoned he could stomach double the amount and today (Fri) completed his beer-drinking quest at The Market Tavern in Atherstone, Warks.<br /> <br />Jon has mainly been drinking in dozens of boozers around his home town of Guildford, Surrey, and has been documenting his progress on Tiktok. <br /><br />While carrying out his challenge, which has seen him consume more than 360,000 calories, his number of followers has risen from 6,000 to 123,000. <br /><br />Tiktok influencer Jon reckons he has forked out around £8,000 on lager and cider and a further £10,000 on catching Ubers to and from the pub.<br /><br />He said: "I first got the idea when I saw someone on Tiktok say they were going to <br />drink 1,000 pints in a year and I thought that's only two a day. <br /><br />"So I upped that to 2,000 and wanted to do it quicker so I shortened it to 200 for the only reason that I thought it sounded good. <br /><br />"It does feel like a mildly impressive achievement. I don't think anybody else has done this before. It felt like a very British thing to do. <br /><br />"Although I know its probably not good for the liver, so I probably wouldn't recommend it. <br /><br />"But I feel OK, I've not had any hangovers so far because I'm still young enough to not really get them. Also you have to be sober to get a hangover in the first place.<br /><br />"I've mainly been drinking around Guildford but have gone further afield as well - the Market Tavern invited me, so I thought I'd go along. It seems a nice pub. <br /><br />"I usually opt for a Thatchers or a Magners but I have been drinking Madri too. I like both cider and beer. <br /><br />"After this, I'm going to take a week off and then travel to cities across the country reviewing pints. People seem to like watching me in the pub." <br /> <br />While some social media users have branded Jon a 'legend' and a 'national treasure' status others expressed concern about his health.<br /><br />One person wrote: "As amazing as this is, I do wonder if it will have any long-term health effects following."<br /><br />A second said: "'I would strongly advise you not to mate. It’s really not good."<br /><br />Another commented: "That can't be good for you but at the same time I'm strangely impressed. The most British thing I've ever seen."<br /><br />A third said "Give this man a knighthood" and another added: "Greatest athlete of our generation."<br /><br />According to the NHS website, men and women shouldn't drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week on a regular basis.<br /><br />This is equivalent to six pints of average-strength beer or 10 glasses of lower-strength wine.<br /><br />It is advised this should also be spread over three or more days to avoid bingeing.<br /><br />But Jon shrugged off the health concerns and added: "I'm not too concerned about the health implications.<br /><br />"I'll go to the doctors after this and make sure all is OK. Then I'll take it a bit easier on the booze and live a little healthier."
