Then he drank a pitcher of beer standing on his head in what seemed like a few seconds (I doubt these were done back to back in real life so the broadcast probably made a bigger impression on me than it may have in real life). I just tried seeing if I could find something like this on YouTube with nothing comparable to what I saw back then. This was some ordinary-looking guy that didn't come across as a big beer drinker, etc. I drank 64 ounces of beer in 5 minutes once (over 30 years ago) and it immediately made a return visit!
Harvey,

I think you are talking about this gentleman. He has passed away, unforetunately....talent like this comes around oh so rarely.
