A lot of times people think they’re bad-ass for drinking, like, eight beers in a sitting. “Dude, I just had eight beers! How many have you had, loser?” For many, it’s a sign of manhood - a sign of toughness. But lord … if a man is judged on how many bronsons he can put back, then André René Roussimoff is probably one of the most cutting-edge guys of all time.

You probably know him as Andre the Giant, and there are stories of him putting back 40 vodka tonics and slugging two liters of vodka just to “get warm inside.” And then there’s the time he pounded 119 beers in 6 hours. Granted, he was a “giant” — but for all your 8-beer-queers out there, take a step back and think about what you’re saying when you’re ragging some unsuspecting lightweight.
