It all depends on how fast you drink 23 pints of beer. It could easily be done over the course of 12 hours. Here is a video of a guy doing 50 shots at the bar over the course of a few hours:
(granted it's peach schnopps, but it is still a ridiculous amount of alcohol)
I read once that in Japan it is socially acceptable for business men to go out after work and get totally bombed with each other. People of Asian decent have a much higher chance of being much more sensitive to alcohol, so in Japan they lose tons and tons of work days from people calling in sick with a hangover.
Notice the guy in the video looks about 20 stone and that he does not actually drink it in the sense he metabolises it, he brings most of it back up.
There was a Canadian snooker player who used to drink 6-8 pints before he started
playing and then one a frame (to calm his tremor), he was said to drink 20 pints a day.
(one report said 50, but such things are very prone to exaggeration), he too was about 20 stone, obviously the bigger you are the more you can 'absorb' the alcohol to a certain extend.
He did die at 56 though. When I was at university there was a guy, about 5'10
and slightly built you could drink a yard of ale (2.5 - 3 pints) in a few seconds, but he would then go to the gents to throw it all back up. I remember seeing some eating competition where a slightly built girl beat a load of guys 2 or 3 times her weight!
