This gentleman makes a pretty compelling case for Andre the Giant as the biggest drunk (literally and figuratively) in history.
Among the main points:
- Andre regularly consumed up to 7000 calories of booze a day.
- 2 liters of vodka merely made the Giant “feel warm inside”
- During road trips on his bus, Andre usually went through a case of beer every 90 minutes.
- Once in Japan, Andre was gifted a case of expensive plum wine before leaving via bus to a wrestling engagement. Upon arriving 4 hours later, Andre was just polishing off the last bottle. And he kept on drinking! That’s 16 bottles of wine to PRE-FUNK!
Anyway, there are many more stories about the 7-foot drunkard, and all make a pretty compelling case for Andre the Giant as Drunk of the Millenium.

I have read that article and it is pretty goddamn amazing.
Sounds like about the same amount that is consumed by TastyBooze on a typical Fri/Sat night… but there’s usually four or five of us.
