A legend.
http://www.drunkard.com/issues/10_06/10_06_andre_giant.html

The tale of a truly epic man, both in appetite, attitude, and stature. An excerpt from this fascinating article.


You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture.

Think about it: 119 beers in six hours. That’s a beer every three minutes, non stop. That’s beyond epic. It’s beyond the ken of mortal men. It’s god-like.

I did the math on that... 119 bottles @ 12oz each @ 5% by volume = 5.278L of 80 proof vodka, that's over THREE 1.75L JUGS OF 40% VODKA!!!!!

Also that's 11.16 gallons of beer....17 times the size of the average adult male's stomach.

Crazy!
