Wow, impressive. I like to drink but I couldnt begin to accomplish what Andre did. Its a great article, I recommend giving it a read.

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.

Well I'm quite impressed.

I know an old builder guy who told me to stick to beer, never dable with wine or spirits and my liver will be fine, those guys (the spirit drinkers) have livers like teabags he said. I mean thats pretty good advice, no nead to consult with the medical proffesion.

but 1 beer every 3 minutes! even if it wasn't alcoholic I should think that volume of liquid passing through the system would cause damage enough! sheesh.

I read the entire article. Damn, now that was impressive. At 9 beers I am out of it.

At my peak drunken Navy days I couldn't have gotten much further than a case, in six hours.

That is an insane amount of beer to drink at once.

Drinking on every three minutes, I could get through a 6 pack, but probably not too much further.

Sorry to screw up this thread by thinking about it....

but 119 12-ounce beers equals about 11.2 gallons.

But Andre weighed 500 lbs, which is the equivalent of 2.8 175 pound people.

So, for an average "person" it's only about four gallons of beer equivalent.

In a six hour period, that's only about 2/3 of a gallon per hour. Now to be sure, you would get wasted, but I think the equivalent feat is do-able. A standard bar pitcher is a half gallon, so a little more than a pitcher per hour for one guy (or lady, I suppose, if so inclined).

There are probably plenty of college kids in the nation who, at 175 lbs, could have approached this.
