According to GWR, they were prohibited from using any form of private transportation, such as a taxi. They then decided to take a break in a park and resumed their attempt 9. Two of them spent no more than 14 minutes going from one pub to another. This time frame included ID checks, waiting in line to order drinks, drinking the beverages, and walking to the next location. “We both took countless toilet breaks; too many to count. During the last 12 hours at least one of us needed to go at each pub we visited,” Kooros added. Though Kooros and Loiterton broke the record early evening, they decided to continue until they reached 100. The duo stopped at 99th pub, making it for 100th. “There is a sense of accomplishment that comes not only from breaking a record but also from the meticulous planning and execution required to break the record,” Kooros told GWR after breaking the world record with his friend Loiterton.
