THE city of Maryborough has staked its claim to having hosted the world’s biggest pub crawl after 2800 drinkers sloshed and slurred their way through at least one drink in every one of 10 city pubs. Organisers of the event proudly boasted after the Sunday night binge to have reclaimed the title cheekily won from them in a smash and grab by London in 2006. The south-east Queensland city, which boasts a population of 26,000, first entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2005, with 1198 drinkers participating in the inaugural crawl, then beat its own record a year later with 2237 participants.
