A serving Prime Minister, Harold Holt, died while going for a swim off the coast in 1967. A swimming pool was named in his honour and the the incident is known as 'the swim that needed no towel'.

And his brother Mike was a legendary prank phone caller.

blacking512 · 2012-10-09T15:44:48+00:00

Fuck, i love my country.

acendude · 2012-10-09T15:10:53+00:00

Maybe this is where the whole "elect a president you could see yourself having a beer with" thing came from.

Vaelkyri · 2012-10-09T16:59:56+00:00

Just for reference for all the people saying "thats easy I can do that"

This is not 2.5 pints in a glass- this is 2.5 pints in a yardglass- otherwise known as a yard of ale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yard_of_ale

Drinking it fast is only part of the challenge, the biggest part drinking it very very fast so you dont pour it all over yourself once you reach the tipping point at the end.

Inquisitr · 2012-10-09T15:09:25+00:00

Wait,

I thought that was how Australia picked it's leaders. You mean the current PM didn't have to win a beer drinking contest?!?!?!?!

No wonder Assange is pissed, that's a blatant violation of the Australian constitution. No Tee-toller gets to tell a real oz how to go to jail!

glowstatic · 2012-10-09T16:07:15+00:00

Awww 'straya. Miss ya heaps.

walshy420 · 2012-10-09T14:12:48+00:00

its "STRAYA CUNT"

callmeRichard · 2012-10-09T15:51:05+00:00

Is that still the record? I have a friend that can destroy that easily - I would say 6 seconds for 2.5 pints.

Gyrant · 2012-10-09T17:49:08+00:00

As a Canadian, It makes me sad that you are so far away.

We have so much in common.

Hawkey! Ken oath, ya filthy cuuuuuunnt.

i2occo · 2012-10-09T17:13:13+00:00

2.5 pints in 11 seconds? I think I could have taken him in my prime....

slappy_nutsack · 2012-10-09T17:20:52+00:00

Yeah!? Well our president has snorted coke. Although I think I like your PM better.

whaIe · 2012-10-09T17:25:15+00:00

I just spent way too time trying to figure out how he would scull beer. How does anyone go through life and not know how to spell skull?

thedinosaurman · 2012-10-09T14:15:59+00:00

National pride right here.

joerussel · 2012-10-09T16:03:36+00:00

good on him. he downed two pints in record time and managed to beat the kangaroo king.

Schwa88 · 2012-10-09T16:15:12+00:00

TIL There is a drinking prowess requirement for becoming the PM of the Australia. They really should play that on TV, would definitely help with immigration (especially if Romney wins).

Saint_of_Catrumbus · 2012-10-09T16:18:09+00:00

What's the current record? Because honestly, I think I can beat that...

Cerberus73 · 2012-10-09T16:19:22+00:00

doobiedoob1 · 2012-10-09T16:38:28+00:00

Impressive

Mossmaster · 2012-10-09T16:49:00+00:00

then he "skulled" the first lady of Australia.

darlantan · 2012-10-09T16:53:49+00:00

Ah, the 50's. Back when men were men. Don't get me wrong, a lot of shit was fucked up, and we've made a lot of progress on a lot of fronts since then...but these days, that guy'd probably never get elected.

Ahhlarry · 2012-10-09T17:29:48+00:00

Up vote for the title alone

CoyoteStark · 2012-10-09T17:50:59+00:00

Only a bogan would repost this.

Pulsar101 · 2012-10-09T18:40:19+00:00

We should start holding drinking games in lieu of elections :)

notyouravgredditor · 2012-10-09T19:00:11+00:00

Ahh no way mate, Hawkes is a suck cunt

Ian1732 · 2012-10-09T19:10:38+00:00

Saxton Hale would be proud.

bigangry · 2012-10-09T19:34:47+00:00

Damn... thought that the title was "Fuckin' Stoya" at first glance. I was disappointed.

Bucky_Ohare · 2012-10-09T20:05:02+00:00

I thought this said "Fuckin' Stoya" and I was immediately shocked there was no NSFW tag...

HCaptPi · 2012-10-09T20:26:48+00:00

And probably our greatest too, after Curtin.

infinitee775 · 2012-10-09T23:42:22+00:00

was it 2.5 pints of....GUINNESS?!

Doobed · 2012-10-09T23:48:59+00:00

repost from a month ago

jdann1 · 2012-10-10T05:09:27+00:00

So why don't obama and romney have a beer drinking contest to see who wins? Plus side is their winning speech would be just great too

Seems a wee bit slow to me. Feckin' Ayerlind.

conventionistG · 2012-10-09T16:33:11+00:00

Somebody flip this upside-down...stat!

peatfreak · 2012-10-09T16:38:58+00:00

As an Australian, I cringe at the way this is held up as something to be proud of. Having a whole population so easily tickled and amused by something so trivial is pretty embarrassing. This idiotic story gets trotted out over and over again to celebrate Bob Hawke as a top bloke and dead set legend, etc, etc, (he's not) and so many people mindlessly lap it up every single time.
