Andre the Giant is my new hero

Yes, I know he's dead. But, he's the man. Here's why.

 

"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."

Yea the Princess Bride I think. I haven't seen that movie in....forever

the world would be a happier place if we all just worshipped Andre the Giant, the beer god.

Fezzik... are there beers ahead?

 

If there are, we'll all be dead.

he would pwn beerfest. /salute

ZOMG, I loved Princess Bride...

 

But you've got to remember, that guy was rather big. And in health class, they always tell you, if you weigh more, it'll take more time for beer to go through your system...but yeah, wow, that's a LOT of beer, even for a person his size...

that man was epic

 

Fixed

119? MY GOD, he is a golden God.

 

I wonder how much Dope he could smoke, either a shitload or a 1 toke Wonder. Discuss.

1 toke wonder. with how big his lungs must have been, that one tole must have been a whoooooole joint.

If you go and actually read the entire article he also worked wonders for modern medicine due to his drinking. I'll quote it from the article since I know most (or all) of you are too lazy to do it on your own.

 

" The time arrived, and the anesthesiologist was frantic. He had never put a person of Andre’s size under the gas before and had no idea how much to use. Various experts were brought in but no solution presented itself until one of the doctors asked Andre if he was a drinker. Andre responded that, yes, he’d been known to tip a glass from time to time. The doctor then wanted to know how much Andre drank and how much it took to get him drunk.

 

“Well,” rumbled the Giant, “It usually takes two liters of vodka just to make me feel warm inside.”

 

And thus was a solution found. The gas-passer was able to extrapolate a correct mixture for Andre by analyzing his alcohol intake. It was a medical breakthrough, and the system is still used to this day. "

 

One downside of being Andre the Giant: If it took me that much alcohol to get drunk I'd definitely be poor right now. I mean I'm a poor college student as it is (everyone remember one of the reasons I quit?) My alcohol budget is already tight enough.

that is how i take my the edge off... 2 liters of vodka O.o

Awesome.
