Beer-mad Bosnian wins advertising contract
From here
A beer-mad Bosnian who has drunk more than 15 pints a day for almost 50 years has been offered a lucrative contract promoting his favourite drink.
Marijan Camber, 61, from Sutina, was made an offer he couldn't refuse after a local paper pictured him drinking his 400,000th bottle.
He said: "Negotiations are still ongoing, and I am not allowed to name the firm, but I think we are close to signing a deal. I am the world's biggest beer fan so I'm happy to be its ambassador."
Friends confirmed to Croatian daily Jutarnji List that Camber drinks at least 30 bottles containing a third of a litre a day, and say the beer seems to have no affect on him.
Camber said: "I once drank 80 bottles in one day to see how far I could go, and I still didn't feel drunk."
He added: "To be honest I don't drink to get drunk. I think I've been drunk about three times in my life - and that was when I drank other alcohol and not beer.
"There are always at least 20 different beers in my fridge. My favourites are from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia."
He reckons beer is as good as it gets: "Sex is a fleeting pleasure that is not always that great and not always available, but the pleasure from beer is always good - and you can have it as often as you want."
