Watch A Guy Carry 27 Beers To Break The World Record

Each mug weighed five pounds. That's 135 pounds of beer, people! Without a tray!

Some people go to the gym after carrying too much beer in their bellies, but 38-year-old German dude Oliver Struempfel goes to the gym to carry it in his arms. Yes, in Germany, competitive beer carrying is a thing. And last Sunday, Struempfel broke the sport(?)'s world record.

Struempfel impressively carried 27 one-liter mugs of beer across a 40-meter distance. (And he isn't even a waiter, just a tax inspector.) I mean, just look at him go:

Struempfel is not a beer-carrying newbie. "I have worked here in the beer tent for the past 17 years, so I have lots of training," he told Reuters after his big win at the Gillemoos beer festival.

"Of course, it has happened to me before that some beer mugs have fallen down," he said. "Three years ago, 23 beer mugs fell down at once." But that's nothing compared to his new 27-mug world record.

Better start training now if you want to outdo him at Oktoberfest. Watch the full video below:
