Then comes the red swollen legs with white spots. The loss of appetite. Chronic fatigue. Bad scene and it gets worse. But a buzz is a buzz.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pup55', 'S')orry 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.

The problem is body weight is not a direct correlation to ability to "hold your beer" as it were.

Theres plenty of heavy guys who can drink very little just as theres plenty of skinny guys who seem to drink all night long.


it is a direct correlation to amount of blood one has. While tolerance to alcohol might differ from one to another, math is not debunked here

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('catbox', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'I')f they actually kept count, Shane McGowan would take the cake:

Love this quote!: “When I need a light inside me, I walk into a pub and drink 15 pints of beer.” —Shane McGowan


he's forgetting to brush & floss. floss & brush.

some mouthwash is 27% alcohol, so he's probably rinsing with mouthwash equivalent on a regular basis.

i don't see how someone can live with teeth like that. it would drive me nuts. more nuts.
