A U.K. man has attempted a Guinness World Record by visiting 51 pubs in 24 hours.

According to BBC News, Matt Ellis hopes to be the first to capture the Guinness World Record for “Most Pubs Visited in 24 hours.” In order to capture the record, BBC News noted, “Under Guinness World Records rules, Mr. Ellis, who runs a wine merchant’s in St Neots, had to consume 125ml (4.1 ounces) of any drink at each stop, visit a minimum of 50 pubs, be monitored by witnesses and get verification from pub staff.”

Food & Wine also noted of Ellis’ pub crawl that he was able to accomplish the 51 pubs visits in 8 hours, 52 minutes, and 37 seconds. In total, the pub crawl spanned 20 miles. Ellis was also stuck to a drink menu of mostly juices and diet sodas, but even the non-alcoholic liquid intake resulted in many bathroom breaks along his pub crawl.

While Ellis’ record has yet to be made official, all of the paperwork required to confirm the record has been submitted and received by Guinness.

7 Cocktails/Liquor Brands Associated with Rock Stars

• “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott – Black Tooth Grin

  Share

  Dimebag's signature drink featured two shots of Seagram's 7, two shots of Crown Royal and a splash of Coca-Cola. Basically, it'll get you to where you need to go and then some.

• Lemmy Kilmister – Jack and Coke

  Share

  How synonymous was Lemmy with the iconic Jack and Coke cocktail? Shortly after the Motorhead frontman died, an online petition went viral trying to get the drink renamed to "The Lemmy."

• The Rolling Stones – Tequila Sunrise

  Share

  The orange juice/Jose Cuervo/grenadine cocktail was introduced to Mick Jagger during a private party hosted by famed promoter Bill Graham. After that, it became the "unofficial cocktail" of the Stones' 1972 tour in support of 'Exile on Main Street,' and the rest is history.
• Janis Joplin – Southern Comfort

  Share

  Janis Joplin was so public with her love of Southern Comfort that it caused an increase in sales, which resulted in the company sending her a lynx fur coat as a "thank you."

• Freddie Mercury – Stolichnaya Vodka/Cristal

  Share

  Mercury's two drinks of choice, Stoli and Cristal, are just another part of his legend. Queen launched the limited edition Killer Queen Vodka in 2014. In the announcement of Killer Queen, Brian May said, "Freddie loved vodka and used to carry a dry ice cooler full of vodka with him on tour." As for the Cristal, that was Mercury's favorite champagne and would stock his fridge with dozens of bottles of it for parties.

• Sammy Hagar – Cabo Wabo Tequila

  Share

  Hagar arguably started the very popular trend of rock stars with their own liquor brands. Even though the Red Rocker has launched a number of different spirit labels, Cabo Wabo Tequila was his first, and it made him a very rich man. Hagar has since sold all of his stake in the brand, but when he first sold 80 percent of Cabo Wabo to Gruppo Campari in 2007, he earned $80 million.
• Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society – Johnnie Walker Black Label

  Share

  An obvious association, especially regarding Black Label Society's debut album 'Sonic Brew,' which featured the design of Johnnie Walker's Black Label Whisky label and bottle. Wylde, however, didn't get permission to use the Johnnie Walker imagery and was served with a cease and desist.
