As a part of some weird joke over Bank Holiday Monday in the United Kingdom (whatever that is), an English man took 35 Viagra pills and ended up getting taken to the hospital after sporting wood for five days straight.
Per The Sun:
Daniel Medforth ended up in hospital after necking 35 Viagra in an hour, giving him a five-day erection.
The 36-year-old plasterer took the pills “for a laugh” at a mate’s house last Bank Holiday Monday after a two-day bender.
But he said: “I ended up feeling sick, dizzy and hallucinating — everything I saw was green. And I had a massive erection that would not go away.”
He went on to say that the paramedics working on him were professional but also had trouble holding back laughs the entire time, and for good reason. Daniel even said, “It wasn’t a permanent erection but every time I brushed against something for five days it sprang into life — and it was no use to me.”
In a similar situation to this, I once had a friend eat an entire box of Ex-Lax (you know, the stuff that makes you poop). In a moment of panic wondering why the hell he had done this, he called the number on the back of the box and the woman on the help line asked exactly what everyone else wanted to ask: “Why would you ever do that?”
Luckily, we were in high school so people wrote this decision off as just being young and dumb. But Daniel Medforth and his Viagra? No excuses. He had to face his wife, who had to be even more perplexed than anyone. “Fortunately my wife has forgiven me and I realise I have been very, very lucky,” Medforth said in closure.
Big, if true. .

Since when does two days of heavy drinking constitute as a “bender”? I think here in the States its referred to as a weekend.
Agreed. Two days is nothing. True benders have gone the way of the snap brim fedora, which makes them all the greater currency in the world of drunks. It won’t be easy. In our grandfathers’ day you had to drink two weeks straight before you could officially declare yourself on a proper jag, but that’s when a mug of beer cost a nickel. These days four straight days and nights will give you all the bragging rights you need.
Yolo
I like that he made sure to include in his interview that his erection was “massive”.
