Australia's oldest living prime minister really knows how to chug a beer
Australians are known for their love of beer. But they love it even more when the country's political leaders are chugging one down.
Take the country's oldest living former prime minister, Bob Hawke.
Hawke, now 87, finished off a glass of beer just before midday on Wednesday during a cricket match between Australia and Pakistan.

But it was relatively small amount of beer for Hawke, who is famed for his beer-drinking exploits.
While he was studying at Oxford University, he set a beer-drinking world record by downing a yard of ale (that's 2 1/2 imperial pints or 1.4 litres) in just 11 seconds.
Name another world leader who could match that.

Hawke slamming down a beer has become something of a regular tradition now, ever since he "did one for the country" back in 2012, and again in 2014.
What a legend.
