Whether or not this is an official record, I’d say 90-Year old Arthur Reid and The Griffin pub where he’s bought all 30,000 pints should be proud. This from the Mirror:
Beer lover Arthur Reid raises a glass of bitter after being honoured with a plaque on his favourite pub chair… where he’s been drinking for the last 72 years.
Very regular Arthur, 90, has called in into The Griffin almost every day since turning 18.
Back then, in 1940, a pint cost a shilling – now it’s £2.75. And he’s drunk 30,000 of them over the years.
The retired council worker, who left school at 14 and never married or had children, said he had never been tempted to find another watering hole.
