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.

A moment later, the two huge wrestlers attacked a pair of horse-drawn carriages. Dusty threw a handful of paper money at one driver while Andre hauled the other from his seat with one hand. While one driver cursed and the other scrabbled around on the ground collecting his windfall, Andre and Dusty thundered off in the carriages. They raced through the Manhattan streets, dodging cars and pedestrians for fifteen blocks before ditching the carriages and lathered horses a block from their hotel. By the time the cops arrived, Andre and Dusty were enjoying snifters of brandy in the hotel bar, appearing as innocent as angels. The next day, they main-evented another card at the Garden. Another sell-out. Two pros at the top of their games.


Grand Theft Carriage. That sounds like fun.

Not the first time something crazy has happened.

The head of Plovdiv police, Col. Angel Rangelov, said five separate lab tests taken the same day confirmed the man's blood-alcohol level of 0.914.

A blood-alcohol level of 0.55 is considered potentially fatal.

Hrmm... the first BAC I tried that allowed me to enter 119 beers gave a result in that range. So I suppose I can believe that he did it, but he should have died.

You would think at some point you're body would have a hard time absorbing the alochol, I'm not a doctor, but is it possible after some point he would just pee the beer out (alcohol and all)?

This guy was huge, I'm assuming he had a huge bladder and could also pound a single beer in a matter of seconds.

I think that'd put him on the positive side of the LD50.

Glass half full? ;)

119*12 = 1428oz

1428oz/128 = 11+ gallons.

No matter how fat the man is it is unlikely that he had an 11 gallon bladder!

You guys are seeming to forget this guy weighed 500-600 pounds. I wish I could find the picture of the beer can in his hand. It fits in the palm of his hand and literally looks like a freakin toy.....:)
