Greatest Beer Drinking Urban Legend?

[GoldMiner]

Any other beer drinking urban legends besides this one?

Wade Boggs was famous for eating chicken before every game, but he entered legendary status due to the urban legend that he once drank 64 beers on a cross-country flight. Boggs went on "Pardon the Interruption" and publicly denied it. However, former teammate Jeff Nelson added fuel to the legend by outlaying just how Boggs achieved the number.

I know it was just Miller Lite but 64 is still impressive.

I have alot... but some of the coolest ones relate to Andre the Giant. And they aren't so much urban legends as they are just drinking stories from the road...

"it has been estimated that Andre the Giant drank 7,000 calories worth of booze every day"

"When he finished a can Andre would belch, crush the can in his dinner-platter-sized hand, and bounce the empty off the back of Hogan’s head. Hogan learned to count each thunk, so he could anticipate when Andre was running low. Whenever the bus stopped, it was Hogan’s job to scamper off to the nearest store, buy as many cases of beer as he could carry, and make it back before the bus departed, a sight that never failed to make Andre roar his bassoon-like laugh."

"Sixteen bottles of wine in four hours is a considerable feat, but it gets better. Andre proceeded straight to the ring and wrestled three matches, including a twenty-man battle royal. The 16 bottles of plum wine had no discernible effect on Andre’s in-ring ability."

"They’d been drinking with gusto for hours when Flair goaded Mulligan and Murdoch into some slap-boxing with Andre, who had poured over 60 beers down his gullet. One of the two “accidentally” sucker-punched Andre. The Giant became enraged, grabbed both Mulligan (6’5”, 250 lbs.) and Murdoch (6’3”, 240 lbs.) and dragged them into the ocean, one in each hand, where he proceeded to hold them under water. "

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.

Private messaging is for that purpose so we don't have to hear your grievance that has nothing to do with the topic. It just destroys threads.

Posting in the thread should be contributing to the topic, and this has a great chance to be an entertaining one.
