TypePhotographCreatorDonald LaingDate1963-64CollectionDonald Laing PhotographsDescriptionBlack and white photograph of a speed drinking contest (chugging) at Weir House. The aim is to raise a glass and down the beer as quickly as possible. Here the contestants were [clockwise from left]: Barry Finch, Greg Hope, Trevor Snowden, Denis Paxie and Keith Aberdien. Photographer Donald Laing says, "Finch was the undisputed champion and it is clear he has a big lead already, downing his drink while others have barely started. Finch was tall, strong, athletic, and good looking. He was very popular at parties and never lacked a girlfriend to attend balls with."SubjectWeir HouseStudent life
