Andre would drink several of these in a single sitting. And when he did drink beer, he would use drink from a beer pitcher rather than regular glass. Andre downed six bottles of Mateus with ice before a fight, former wrestling professional Gerald Briscoe told the Tampa Bay Times. One night in Sarasota, Andre is travelling with us. So we pull over and get two cases of tall boys. On one tour of Japan, Hulk Hogan had to buy Andre as many cases of beer as he could carry back onto the bus, according to Beermumbo.
One-hundred-and-fifty-six glasses of wine would turn out approximately fluid ounces -- or approximately 32 standard bottles of vino. Andre, the cheapest Champagne in all the land, is slightly less potent than your average wine. So drinking a little bit more of the eponymous bubbly stuff would be no problem for Mr.
Giant, who is also named Andre, coincidentally. Kesha may brush her teeth with Jack, but apparently Andre likes to bathe in it. With his alcohol consumption equaling fluid ounces of hard liquor, he could have taken down 10 bottles of whiskey in one night. Andre could even hold four handles of your local liquor store's cheapest, dirtiest vodka -- from Vladi to Popov. Salute, comrade.
This is enough to get a small village seeing double. Conceivably, Andre could knock down 65 shots of grain alcohol -- otherwise used as industrial-strength chrome remover. This proof beast is approximately 2. Andre would have to drain more than 1K of these little airplane boozies. He'd often clean out the entire plane's bar before takeoff to help squash his fear of flying.
Estimating that an average bartender would spend around one minute serving him per drink , the barkeep would be focusing two-and-a-half hours of their time on Andre alone. A medical doctor, choosing to remain anonymous because of the "deplorable subject matter," advises that no one try any feats of stupor such as these at home because Andre the Giant was a very exceptional case. His alcohol consumption was legendary. Reports vary from person to person, but many claim to have seen him drink over beers just shy of a full sized keg of beer or several bottles of wine.
In an interview with David Letterman, he admitted to drinking beers in one sitting. During the interview he stated that he had quit 14 months prior to the interview but and felt much better after quitting. In fact, he trimmed down to lbs from ! Though he did admit that he still had some white wine with dinner.
But no, it is actually a real untouched photo. The original picture also featured a shot of Terry Todd, the author of the article, holding a glass of beer for comparison.
His reasons for wanting to cut down on the booze was in an effort to make good weight for his fights. He told David Letterman, how he reduced his alcohol intake to get to a solid pounds. A beers or more so, it was time to call it a night or early morning or whatever ungodly time they finished up. Throwing money at the drivers, they took control of their carriages and proceeded to have a chariot style race through the streets of downtown Manhattan, whizzing by cars and the unfortunate pedestrians who had to jump out of the way or get hit.
Fifteen blocks later, they lost the carriages and lathered the horses within walking distance from the hotel. They were to be found at the bar enjoying strong brandies with not a care in the world.
Not too worried either about their sell out fights back at the Madison Square Garden the next day………. It was only when he did the all nighters was when he passed out or got the hangovers from hell, but overall he could hold it all well, a tolerance built up from many years.
His gigantism made him a career, but the payoff was immense joint pain and the everyday annoyances of living in a small world. So the way Andre killed his pain and medicated himself was with booze. Back to actor Cary Elwes, Elwes revealed that because of his size and his job as a wrestler, the late star was in great pain, and drinking was a way to numb it. His back was injured from carrying all that weight around, and from having other wrestlers breaking chairs over his back.
Remember there were not a whole lot of places he could hang out and chill, he was gigantic after all. Ok so back to the tales…………. I mean most of the yarns come from his wrestler friends, who all love a good spiel. I mean its pro wrestling for crying out loud, where the unbelievable looks believable.
