Del Hall is surviving on a beer-only diet for Lent

Del Hall, the owner of the 16 Lots Brewing Company in Ohio, has survived for over a month on nothing but pints of beer.

It is the fourth year in a row that Hall has completed the bizarre stunt and he claims to "feel great" on his beer diet, which he says has helped him lose weight.

Hall is raising money for a charity that helps adults with disabilities for his latest attempt and revealed that he had defied doctors' orders to follow his unique diet.

He told The National Desk: "She said, 'You're an idiot if you do this', but she knows how strong-willed I am. Once she knew I was determined to see this through, she recommended I take multi-vitamins, stay hydrated, and she told me not to do anything stupid."
