A reckless father has been criticised for attempting break a world record by downing a bottle of vodka in just 8.6 seconds.

Andi Doherty, better known as Skat Dagger, consumed a full 40 units in the extreme alcohol stunt last week and uploaded the footage to his YouTube channel – but Guinness World Records and other experts have condemned his effort as ‘life threatening.’

The 30-year-old dad-of-one, who is also best mates with Marco Pierre White Jr, says he can drink the most vodka in the world.

His new ‘world record’ is part of his ‘Iron Liver Challenge’ videos, where he has previously completed jagerbomb races and a mouthwash challenge.

Andi said: ‘I did it to prove that I’m the biggest drinker in the world and I’m fully up for doing it in front of Guinness World Record officials to become the verified champion.

‘I chucked up the entire bottle the second time I tried it that quick.

‘I can drink the most vodka in the world, no doubt about that, my friends call me a land pirate because of my love for rum.’

Body piercer Andi, from Folkestone, Kent, claims to be able to outdrink pal Marco.

In a video earlier this year the pair raced litre vodka bottles but the Big Brother favourite was unable to finish and threw up.

Dr Petra Meier from Sheffield University branded the world record as ‘lunacy’ and warned that others may copy the stunt.

She said: ‘This is lunacy, it’s a really stupid idea because there is no-one who can predict how much they can drink.

‘Somebody could come to serious harm and anyone doing this could suffer very serious health side effects.

‘If people start copying him it could become even more dangerous and somebody could come to serious harm.

‘But it’s the same as all drinking games, challenging each other to drink as much as you can isn’t a new thing.’

The Guinness World Records have refused to ratify Andi’s title because it’s ‘life-threatening’.

A spokesperson said: ‘We don’t monitor records that can encourage someone to partake in an activity that can be life-threatening such as the video in question, therefore we wouldn’t be ratifying this as a Guinness World Records title.’
