The thread on "How much beer is too much?" made me think of this article on Andre the Giant's drinking habits:

Pete-
Hey thanks for the article. I thought Andre was the greatest! His drinkin' exploits were well documented on an A&E cable program, as well as his life in wrestling and personnal life.
I had the good fortune of seeing him wrestle in Madison,WI. I made a point of walking down to the floor as he entered the arena.
It was a rush I'll never forget! Truely a giant of a man, in body and spirtit. cheers,tim |

It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise. |

Clearly the stuff of which legends are made.
I worry that some stupid oaf of a college student somewhere will say, "I'm more than half as big as Andre the Giant was; I should be able to drink at least half as much as he could." The result will be another death from alcohol poisoning. |

No one should drink a whole lot. It isn't good for you.
That said;
Drinking removes warts and pimples. Not from me. From those I look at.

Great story.
Thanks Pete, that was an interesting article. I never knew he drank THAT much. The numbers are just, well... staggering.
Pardon the pun, I couldn't resist heheheh

Ron, they say the Lord watches out for children, small animals and drunks, but I have learned not to underestimate the stupidity of some people when it comes to alcohol. |

I was thinking how cool it would have been to invite Andre to a weekend cookout . .
. . until I realized he single handedly would have consumed over 11 gallons of homebrew in one afternoon . . maybe more if you did it in the middle of summer!  |

Here's my chance to beat Denny to the punch. I've spent the last year developing a recipe and my immunity to a Vanilla Iocane Porter. |
