Andi said: "I've downed a 70cl bottle of vodka before so I knew a litre wouldn't be much of an issue.

"All my friends call me the land pirate because of my tattoos and my love of rum.

"I make funny videos every now and then and they always seem to get a good response on Facebook , so I set up a YouTube channel for myself and friends to start making various videos.

"I wasn't sick after the vodka and now I've been asked to down a litre of mouthwash, or a litre of olive oil, eat a stick of butter, or eat silly amount of donuts.

"Not sure what I'm going to go for. Probably a litre of mouthwash."

he added: "We figured for the first video I should do an extreme alcohol challenge to get noticed, but I also do food and drink challenges, pranks and social experiments.

"It's just intended to be a funny channel, I don't intend to encourage dangerous behaviour.

"Any eating or drinking challenges are welcome."

#5 Alcohol expert Dr John Mundy

Many people have posted their videos online doing, the "Liter Challenge", that involves drinking a large quantity of liquid (includes water or milk) as quick as possible, and many have tried, with varying degrees of success, to polish-off an entire bottle of spirits in one go.

Alcohol expert Dr John Mundy, has warned that the iron liver challenge can lead to death if the level of alcohol is already raised in the body.

Dr Mundy said: "Because the litre is being drunk so quickly the alcohol levels will rise continuously for around two hours.

"It is a very dangerous thing to do because you have no control over your alcohol levels.

"If he reaches between 400-450 milligrams of alcohol in his body then he could die.

"The alcohol levels slowly go up and up and up and he'll have no control over that.

"What he's doing is lethal, he could vomit and die on his vomit if he passed out.

"At 450 milligrams most people would die.

"If he consumed a litre of mouthwash I should think he'll be sick as it has lots of other ingredients which you really shouldn't consume.

"The bottom line is you shouldn't do it."
