Two Dunedin students lived the scarfie dream and made money for charity in a neat dovetailing of interests by deciding to drink for 40 hours non-stop for the 40 hour famine.
The students warmed up for the famine with eight drinks, and then settled into a more reasonable Southern Gold/Diesel an hour pace. A write-up of the 40 hour binge which they then provided to Critic proved pretty much what we already knew before; drinking for 40 hours will make you drunk and sleepy and probably isn’t good for you.
The binge is similar to that covered in Critic several years ago where a student flat drank 40 440ml Tui cans for 40 hours to raise funds for the charity event. However despite the lack of originality it is hard to deny the nobility of drinking yourself one foot into the grave in the name of starving children, so Critic decided to donate $3.50 to the lads total. Top work.
