Then there is the legend of my fellow countryman, Angus MacAskill. Said to be the largest proportionate giant that ever lived and also the strongest human being.

I drank a case of 24 quite a few times from lets say.. 5pm during diner to 2-3 am

Agreed 24 beer isn't alot of beer for a anyone over 200 pounds.
Loads of drunks can drink twice that. I'm pretty sure andre has drank atleast 100 beer.

I think most normal people would die if they tried to drink a case.

A lot of colleges frats have CASE RACES. Who can drink a case of beer the quickest. I've yet to hear about anyone dying from it. Dying from regular beer short term is almost unheard of. Its when you get into the higher alcohol beverages where people run into problems. But don't get me wrong. Drink too much beer for too many years and it all ends the same way.

Bullshit. I'm talking about within a short period of time. You try to drink 24 beers within two hours, and you will be seriously fucked up.

2 hours for the regular person is next to impossible(although i'm sure Andre could have done it) On paper it seems doable for serious drinkers. But it isn't until someone really tries it that they're in over their head. Anything under 4 1/2 hours in a case race is considered extremely fast. The 4 hour case is not unlike the 4 minute mile.

oh in 2 hours I would puke my gut out trying to drink that much beer

hell I would puke trying to drink the equivalent of any liquid

the thing about the case race is your not allowed to puke. Some silly bastards even have rules where your not allowed to use the bathroom. So people end up pissing themselves for hours on end. But after about 12 to 15 beers, the majority of people start to cheat by opening their next beer while still having not finished their beer thats open. Then the yelling and screaming starts and many people just say fuck it. Although I have heard of pretty large bets/pots on some games forcing people to stay within the rules. Most never finish and beating the 4 hour mark is pretty epic. Anyone can drink a 12 pack in about an hour and a half. But after that, things start to really slow down and get complicated.

Well what about size differences?? I have 300lb+ friends that I couldn't out drink if they were already half a case deep, and I have fairly good tolerance.

Sure that comes into effect. But to be honest, I've seen 125 pound girls(few and far between) go much further in a case race than some pretty decent drinkers. Look at that Asian chick the black widow who beats most men in food eating. She is like 115 pounds or some shit. Freaks aside, anything under a 4 to 4 1/2 hours a case of beers is nutz. Its not until you reach like beer 15-18 where boys become men.lol

Throw a case race party with legit rules and prizes and you will find out in a hurry that the guys who you thought you couldn't out drink really weren't what you thought they were(in most cases). 24 beers is a lot of fucking beer. Throw in no puke rules and limited piss rules and forget out it. Not many people can sit still for basically 4+ hours listening to the amount of bullshit and watching people try to cheat their way out of finishing a beer.

I'm sure I could drink dozen in 2 hours, and I'm a moderate drinker. Andre being about twice my weight should be able to drink 24 in the same amount of time.

One time a buddy and I had a beer bong race. You could piss, but if you threw up you were done. I guess I did 19 in less than two hours. He did 18, threw up, and came back to do the other one just to say he did apparently. Don't remember the end of that because I was all kinds of fucked up. I know we casually drank a few before that, but that was not very smart.

people with big bone structures are way stronger and the bigger the stronger. in the past there have been reports on tall people in aboriginal areas doing some crazy feats of strength. Artifacts found in Archaeology include 90 pound axes that have been actually used to cut down trees and spearheads in excess 0f 14 pound when the average is only 2 -3 pounds, and graves found of men that are ten feet tall with 150 pound coat of arms (*chain coat). One of the emperors of Rome was 9 feet tall, drank 5 liters of wine and eat 20 pounds of meat daily and could lift a 1000 pound stone off the ground relatively easy, not sure how much of this is exaggerated but if true these men would smash through 600 bench for ten with proper training to do so.

Imagine if all of this were true...Jesus wouldn't really have been about 5'1...

Judging by that pic of him with Arnie, hes at least 6 inches taller than him even while holding him up off the ground. Arnold at 6' 2" would be about a whole foot shorter than Andre, so I would say 7' 2" is a safe guess. How tall is the other guy did someone said 7'6"??

Sorry was typo, meant to put 7'1

These guys are entertainers. If they could be something else, they would be. The thing is, we don't have to play the if game with the real record holders.
