Merle Haggard Once Bought The Largest Round Of Drinks & Held A Guinness World Record For It

Merle Haggard was presented the check by Billy Bob Barnett himself who offered to buy Haggard a drink on the house, which the singer took him up on.

The record lasted in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1982, all the way to 2016, until a U.K. brewery bought 412 beers at a pub to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday.

And yes, we know what you’re thinking…412 beers is less than 5000 shots.

However, Haggard’s round of shots amounted to a little less than 40 gallons of alcohol, while the man who bought the beers added up to 42 gallons, technically beating Merle’s record.

The big question now though is…who’s going to beat the new record?
