As a student in Edinburgh I worked a few evenings in a local pub. It was not the most salubrious drinking den any of you will ever have experienced. I remember being told a story about kids being weaned onto Guinness by having a little blackcurrant cordial poured on top. To avoid the embarrassment of others seeing the blackcurrant on the head, they would pretty soon learn to gulp it down quickly. They would also drop the blackcurrant altogether very quickly to avoid the initial embarrassment.

So Kevin, maybe a little blackcurrant in the Guinness is all you need to get you gulping faster, as all eyes in the pub stare intently at you. I would guess you'll pretty soon have a reasonable gap between those rings...

Quality is my hallmark rather than quantity, but after some pleasant
thoughts here are some tips to try

- try to pour the beer in a narrower glass but you need some conjurer
abilities to hide this infamous maneuver. But being a handy
podiatrist is not bad for a start.
- remove the rings after each drink though chances are nobody will
believe you are a champion
- ask your son for assistance: he continues where you left without
bringing the glass in a vertical position, But this implies you start
to train your son at once in the noble art of beer drinking. Assuming
your sportive past and coaching experience, I am confident this may
be a good solution.
- you can do it  the hard way though. But then you may turn out to be
a real Guiness prodigy or at least reaching  Olympic levels (or
fame?). Train yourselves by swallowing large quantities of water
first and gradually you replace the water by American "beer", then
Canadian beer, Mexican brew, German pils,switching to Belgian abbey
beer and finally to the real stuff (though in Belgium we don not
consider Guiness to be a real beer, it is a meal). If you make a
detour to Belgium, I may teach you how to boost  your performances
Hope this helps.
By the way, I now declare the bets on the mailbase for open.
Good luck,
Bart
