Man drinking 2,000 pints in 200 days reveals how much weight he's put on

Jon May spoke to LADbible about his mission to drink 2,000 pints in 200 days

The bloke drinking 2,000 pints in 200 days has revealed how much weight he’s put on throughout the challenge.

I say that like you know who I’m talking about because by this point, I’m surprised if you’ve not heard of him.

Jon May is the absolute beast who has set himself this pint-guzzling mission and today (19 October) marks day 199.

With a whopping 1,989 pints already swigged before now, he’s been documenting the challenge over on TikTok.

He’s had thousands of Brits hooked and as his mission nears its end, Jon spoke with LADbible to reveal the ins and outs of what 2,000 pints in 200 days really takes.

And before we go any further, we do need to point out that you definitely shouldn’t drink this many pints of alcohol – it’s certainly not recommended by health professionals.

Jon revealed this morning he plans to drink one, maybe two, today and save 10 final pints for his final day, the big Friday.

He’s already said in a video that so far he’s drank a ‘grand total of 361,998 calories, which is an average of 1,828.27 calories every single day’.

So you might, understandably, be wondering if the Guildford guy has gained a bit of a beer belly from the challenge.

He told LADbible: “I’ve put on about a stone, it would be more if I didn’t walk everywhere.

“I don’t go to the gym, but I walk to church which is about half a mile [there] and half a mile back.”

Jon is heavily involved with volunteering at his local church, a key part of his life alongside the pint swigging at the moment.

With about a stone in weight gained, the viral star also told LADbible just what he’s actually been drinking: “It has been between Thatcher’s and Madri,

“It has been like a 50/50 split of cider and lager, because drinking too much of one gets boring.”

Jon has a lot of work to do on the last day to meet his target of 2,000 pints.

He explained: “Most ciders are a lot higher percentage than lagers that they will drink – Henry Weston is about seven percent. I had one of those ‘Beesting’ ciders, it was about 12 percent.

“That knocks your socks off.”

To be honest, I think 2,000 pints of anything would knock anyone’s socks off.

For some health and safety context, the NHS recommends that people drink no more than 14 units per week, which is equivalent to around six pints of four percent lager. It also recommends that those 14 units are spread out evenly over three or more days.
