    Fastest Pint Of Stout
    Multiple record-holder Peter Dowdeswell drank a pint of Guinness stout in just 2.1 seconds at the Millwall Football Club, London, UK, on April 24, 2001. Dowdeswell holds numerous records for gluttony – including fastest three-course meal (45 seconds!) and most hot dogs, including buns, eaten in three minutes (4 complete dogs). He began breaking records after he vowed to smash every beer-drinking record listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of Records!

    if he does it in 2.1 seconds i'd say 2.3 seconds for a litre

    Toto Four was the second biggest selling album in the year Thriller was released.

    Bat out of Hell / Dark side of the Moon - probably not the biggest sellers but were in the charts for ages.
