the greatest drunakard ever known

Okay, thats quite a dubious title. But this is just a crazy story.

I'm not endorsing this...While I am not saying I think it is cool, I am not saying it isn't... it is just crazy.

Anywho, one of the craziest drunks ever stood anywhere between 6'11 and 7"5 and weighed close to 500 pounds:

and a line from the story:

"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"

craziness. Any other insane stories?

 

i fucking love andre the giant!!!
best giant ever!!

 

I just read the entire article... fascinating.

2 Liters just to feel warm inside... oh man.

 

damn. i thought this was gonna be a thread about trout fishing in america.

 

119 beers in 6 hours? holy crap...

 

And I thought this was going to be a thread about David Hasselhoff. I am only slightly disappointed to find out otherwise.

 

why David? Isn't he a huge butt munch?

Well, yes, but please tell me you've seen the video his daughter recorded of him on one of his binges. Hilarious...

 

I've seen that-- a most eloquent case against drinking.

 

is this something I could find on youtube?

I would like to see it if you still have the link.

Charles Bukowski vs. Andre in the drink off of the millennium!!

That king crimson guy can be the dark horse too!

Geez...don't watch if you've ever had to deal with an alcoholic loved one. That's really depressing.

 

I think Wendy's should use that footage for their next television commercial.

 

After watching this video I remembered why I stopped drinking last year...

Quite depressive...
