Snooker

Expensive man to go on a pubcrawl with, was our man Bill
From Wikipedia:
Werbeniuk was noted for the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed before and during matches – at least six pints before a match and then one pint for each frame. In total, he drank between 40 and 50 pints of lager per day.[1][5] Doctors advised Werbeniuk to drink alcohol to counteract a familial benign essential tremor.[6] Later in his career he also took propranolol, a beta blocker, to cope with the effects of his alcohol consumption on his heart.[7]

Werbenuik was reported to have successfully claimed the cost of 6 pints of lager before every match as a tax deductible expense.[2]

Some of Werbeniuk's alleged feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s;[1] 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink";[8] 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.[1]

And that is why snooker and darts are not a sport
 
It's a wonderful game, snooker. Me and my dad used to play. He'd always win but he was older and better at it than me. Sometimes I couldn't tell the difference between the red balls and the brown ball and with the way I play the brown ball could be anywhere. Most of his points were due to fouls.
Your dad was older than you? Wow lol
 
Robertson or Zhao Xintong. Zhao could play Ronnie in the Quarters which would be a cracker.
