A mug's job? No, it's a new world record for carrying beer!

A new world record has been set for carrying mugs of beer in south-east Germany. Bavarian Oliver Struempfel cradled 31 beer-filled tankards stacked up in two tiers, walked 40 metres and then set them down.

But two mugs tipped over at the last minute, setting the record at 29 jugs - the equivalent of 69 kilograms of beer and glass. Mr Struempfel says he's been training at the gym four times a week for the past six months in preparation for the record attempt.

Cheers!
