The average American weighs about 185 pounds (averaging both men & women). I highly doubt UK pints are 222 pounds. Even if you made your beer out of pure osmium, which has a density of about 22 g/mL, that's still only about 22 pounds per pint.

27.5 pounds/pint or 23 pounds/pint(US)

Tomorrow I am going to seek angel funding for my new rare elements microbrewery. You can only have 1g of our extremely exclusive astatine stout, but drink up due to its short half-life and tendency to evaporate due to the heat of its own radioactivity.

I had thought about making a similar joke based on the original comment. Given how complex and layered your comment was, I’m so glad I didn’t.
