World's Biggest Pub Crawl- Maryborough Regains Title from London

Last year London snatched the title for hosting the World's Biggest Pub Crawl, from Maryborough, a town in South East Queensland, Australia.

The Aussies did not like that one bit, and this year 2800 drinkers staggered into 10 pubs imbibing at least one drink in each to snatch the title back from England's capital city. London has a population of 7.5 million, Maryborough just 26,000.

The crawl was attended by Aussies from all over the country, and Americans and Brits also joined in the boozy fun. Participants carry a card which must be stamped at each bar and handed in at the end of the crawl (If they remember) to qualify for having completed the course. All 10 pubs on the crawl must be visited within 6 hours. It is permitted to drink non-alcoholic drinks, but one gets the feeling not many of them do!
Organisers hope the pub crawl will become an annual pilgrimage for drinkers.

I wonder how the staff cope with being besieged with hundreds of boozers at once? I guess they have a few extras drafted in..!
