Not as impressive, but Wade Boggs has a claim of 107 beers in one day, including 64 on a cross country flight.

The coroner's inquest looking into the death of John Bonham proved that he'd had 40 shots of vodka in the 24 hrs prior to choking to death on his own vomit.

My favorite Andre story was the one Flair told of Andre and Blackjack Mulligan. They were all at a big party on a beach somewhere. Mulligan was wasted and said "watch this" and sucker punched Andre. Andre dragged Mulligan and Dick Murdoch down to the water and almost drowned both of them.

Andre the Giant would be the captain of an all time athlete drinking team. One of my favorite stories has always been Wade Boggs drinking 64 beers on a flight from NY to Seattle. For a man his size (not that big), that's impressive.

When asked how much it took him to get drunk, Andre replied “It usually takes two liters of vodka just to feel warm inside.” For the record, that’s over 50% more alcohol than what killed John Bonham (which he drank over a 24 hour period).


That guy was a pussy. I can drink that on any given day and work 10 hours and start drinking again.

No chance somewhere around beer 30 that his counting got a little off?

He was 7'4" and 529 lbs. I don't doubt the stories.

I believe this. My dad was an alcoholic and on multiple occasions drank 3 cases of Budweiser. He usually fell asleep after drinking a half gallon of Beefeater's Gin while watching TV. So, if Andre was an alcoholic I could easily see a man that large consuming an unbelievable amount of booze.

I wonder how many beers he had in him when he dressed up like Bigfoot and fought the 6 Million Dollar Man.
