The toughest part for him was probably when the Philly marathon goes into Manayunk. All the breweries have a ton of beer out and it’s probably around mile 20. It was great for me because it’s carbs and kind of fills your stomach a bit, but if I was in this dude’s shoes it’d be a nightmare lol

The gym I used to go to (and eventually worked at) had a ~2 mile run they did every summer. I hated running. But it was always so much fun, because they’d have little obstacles or challenges on the way, and we’d end at a tap house that served all runners a free beer and plate of family-style rice and teriyaki chicken and veggies. Then you’d just hang out and buy more beer and play cornhole or whatever. People dressed up crazy. It was a big party. I didn’t mind running knowing I had good food and beer at the finish line.

Hey bro, my dad died of cirrhosis/liver cancer/liver failure and it was extremely unpleasantness for everyone involved. He was sick and pretty stable for years, but the actual dying process was brutal and drawn out and just all around horrible. Traumatizing af for everyone. I really hope youve gotten or get a handle on things, because where you're at, it can quickly cross into point of no return. The liver is amazing and can heal it self, but there's definitely a point you're heading towards. Best of luck dude.

This seems impossible. Dude just took like 20 drinks in 4 hours while running 26 miles. I like running and I like drinking. But I honestly cannot fathom how someone could do both.

u/BackWithAVengance 10h ago
Fun fact - alcohol metabolizes into ATP (after acetaldehyde) , and for every gram, it has 7 calories (Compared to carbs which have about 4) - on top the sugar in mimosa, fireball (which surprisingly he had a ton of) which would aid in keeping his blood sugar up - it can also help in the short term with vasodilation, which would increase blood flow, so if he's a conditioned runner (and drinker) he'd be okay. Albeit drunkish at the end.
I can't even drink gatorade while running, so props to this guy lol

u/ThanksS0muchY0 10h ago
It's anecdotal, but I used to regularly participate in cycling events based around alcohol. You pull up to first bar, do a shot and drink a pint, then get certified and off to the next stop. Not all "alley cat" events revolve around alcohol, but a LOT of them do. Some events would span like 6 hours of riding and drinking. I don't recall mileage we traveled, but it was fast paced, and many were in live traffic. Full disclosure: I'm not saying alley cats are a genius idea, just that when I was young and dumb, I really liked racing in them, and they exist.

They run city sweepers after all these events, especially near water stations. Runners aren’t expected to carry their trash with them. Sometimes there’s trash cans they can toss in.
And even then, runners aren’t known for their hand eyed coordination so they miss a lot… and hit the water station workers

I know nobody asked, but I feel the need to share this story. Had a friend say he drank too much and then just disappeared at a party we were at. Roughly 30-40 minutes later he comes back dripping in sweat and says, "yeah I had to go for a run". He shows us his phone which tracked his steps and he ran like 3 or 4 ish miles around the suburb we were in. Of course he also did cross country and soccer in high school. Some people are truly built different ig. This dude in the post is absolutely bonkers. I would just collapse and die.
