Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth

I thought this was a great article with some fantastic stories. Makes me proud to be his namesake.

The big man loved two things: wrestling and booze—mostly booze—and his appetites were of mythic proportion.

First, consider the number 7,000. It’s an important number, and a rather scary one considering its context, which is this—it has been estimated that Andre the Giant drank 7,000 calories worth of booze every day. The figure doesn’t include food. Just booze.
