    A top-notch pintman who is trying to drink 2,000 jars in 200 days is due to complete his remarkable challenge today \u2013 and is expecting a big crowd to cheer him over the line.<\/p>\n

    Jon May is heading to the Market Tavern in Atherstone, Warwickshire, and is expecting up to 300 people to come and watch him crawl over the line. He said he is \u201creally, really\u201d excited about the prospect, and hopes everyone who comes down spends cash and gets smashed.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe pub are asking for numbers and it is literally anywhere between 50 and 300\u2026 people that are turning up,\u201d he told the Daily Star. \u201cI didn\u2019t think people would actively turn up to a pub. It is very different watching a video to actively turning up to a pub.<\/p>\n

    He\u2019s not been to the Market Tavern before but reckons it\u2019s set to rake in a load of cash as the venue for him getting over the line. \u201cI\u2019ve asked [the bar manager] how much money he thinks he\u2019s going to make and he\u2019s thinking like three or four grand\u2026 he\u2019ll be happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Jon, 25, says he now needs around 15 pints to get drunk, something he said would \u201ccome in handy\u201d on the final day of his challenge as he works to sink bevvy number 2000. "I\u2019m going to do the 2,000th pint which will be at about six o'clock and I\u2019ve then got about another four hours of drinking. What I\u2019m hoping is everyone around me is hammered so I can just go about my stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

    He said he\u2019s \u201creally, really\u201d excited. \u201cI\u2019ve got some of my mates coming as well\u2026I\u2019m glad that it\u2019s not just me I don\u2019t really want 300 18 to 21-year-olds in a pub for me and it\u2019s only me."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Being in a pub where people are there to recognise his achievement will be a refreshing change for Jon, who has been forced to make concessions during his journey. He\u2019s been going to a number of different boozers on his epic quest in a bid to avoid \u201cweird\u201d moments when people start recognising him.<\/p>\n

    \u201cPeople look,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2018I think, why are you looking at me? You know that you know me, I know that you know me, just come up to me and say hello and let\u2019s stop this weird eye contact that we\u2019ve now got.'\u201d<\/p>\n
