Australia: What comes to your mind when I say party hard? Well, I doubt your idea matches that of Harry Kooros and Jake Loiterton, two friends from Australia who have broken a crazy world record by doing…something crazy! The duo visited and drank at 99 pubs in 24 hours. The two men, who are both 26 years old, spent approximately Australian Dollars 1500 or Rs 83,000 during their visit to the pubs.
According to the website of Guinness World Records (GWR), the two men have broken the previous year’s record set by Heinrich de Villiers from South Africa, who visited 78 pubs, Guinness World Records (GWR) said on its website. They attempted the record not only to revitalize Sydney’s nightlife, which they say has decimated over the past decade, but also to raise money for MS Australia, a non-profit organization dedicated to multiple sclerosis research.
Kooros and Loiterton started their visit to the pubs around midnight and hopped bars on foot. Kooros, however, fell sick early on in their adventure and vomited shortly after consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short span of time. He told Guinness World Records that he pulled himself together after reassessing their game plan.
The duo also took a break in a park around 5 am and began pub-hopping again around 9 am after pubs began opening. Throughout the day, they discovered pub-after-pub with little downtime and made sure to not spend more than 14 minutes at one pub before hopping on to the next. They had managed to break the world record by early evening but decided to keep going until they touched the 100th bar that night. However, they stopped at the 99th pub because they miscounted and thought that it was actually their 100th bar in the series.
Their incredible achievement not only puts them in the record books but also raises awareness for multiple sclerosis. Kooros and Loiterton’s decision to raise funds for MS Australia showcases their dedication to making a difference while indulging in their passion for partying.
Despite battling illness and exhaustion throughout their intense pub-hopping marathon, the duo persevered, demonstrating their determination to achieve their goal. Kooros and Loiterton managed to visit an impressive 99 pubs within the allocated timeframe, breaking the previous record and setting a new bar for those who dare to partake in such a wild endeavor.
Their extraordinary feat not only highlights their adventurous spirit but also sheds light on the decline of Sydney’s nightlife. By attempting to reignite the vibrant social scene in this Australian city, Kooros and Loiterton hope to inspire others to embrace the energizing atmosphere that once made Sydney a global hotspot for nightlife enthusiasts.
While their record-breaking achievement may seem excessive to some, it is crucial to acknowledge the charitable aspect of their endeavor. By raising funds for MS Australia, Kooros and Loiterton have used their passion for pub-hopping to make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis. Their initiative sets an example of how individuals can combine their personal interests with philanthropy, turning leisure activities into opportunities for positive change.
The resilience and determination displayed by Kooros and Loiterton in completing their pub-hopping journey is commendable. Their adventure not only captures the imagination of those seeking fun and excitement but also serves as a reminder that our passions can be harnessed to support meaningful causes.
As Sydney’s nightlife faces challenges and evolves, Kooros and Loiterton’s world record attempt serves as a reminder of the city’s vibrant past. Through their extraordinary achievement, they bring attention to the changes that have impacted nightlife enthusiasts and encourage a revitalization of Sydney’s after-hours scene.
With their names forever etched in the pages of history, Kooros and Loiterton have left an indelible mark on the world of pub-hopping. Their audacious feat serves as an inspiration for those looking to push the boundaries of traditional records and make a positive impact on society.
As we celebrate their achievement, let us raise a glass and toast to the spirit of adventure, friendship, and the pursuit of making a difference. Cheers to Harry Kooros and Jake Loiterton, the record-breaking duo who turned a wild night out into an unforgettable journey for a worthy cause.
