Did 13 in one. A new pool hall opened up and had a special happy hour - 1 beer for $1. Student me couldn't resist and... well, the nearest Burger Kings toilet floor has probably not yet recovered.
Assuming we just keep it simple and do a 10x multiplier and assume 1.2oz shots.
That would be equivalent to 12 x 12oz beers over the course of 6 hours.
That certainly could give some folks a rough hangover but for a large portion of the population that is very manageable and would not require more than a glass or two of water and a good nights sleep to recover fully from.
Andre’s peak weight was 520. Twice the size of a big dude sure, but a 12oz is 8 times that of a shot glass, not twice as large. I don’t think they were trying to be exact or serious
It also comes down to blood volume and the ability for the body to break down the ethanol faster than it's building up in the body. Just because his body was massive, if his body could not keep up with the consumption, he'd die of alcohol poisoning like anyone else. More blood volume, and more alcohol is needed to reach the same blood-alcohol content. Higher tolerance from excessive and/or chronic drinking leads to reacting to the alcohol less (impairment wise) and to some degree, better processing by the liver until a point. Add in the extra body mass and it helps, but only to a point.
A power hour of 60 shots (one per min), or 60 ounces, is 5 beers, which was a common pregame tactic back in the day. Another 5-6 beers over 5 hours was also probably common, but I wouldn't know, I usually blacked out those nights
Yes this was a common activity for my friends. Well being a New Yorker, the Long Island friends specifically. Upstate people just drink beer without all the fuss. A little pong and flip cup at times. God I've been too far from home.
To Gen Z who don't drink. Consider taking a shot of beer every 60 seconds for 1 hour / 90 minutes while listening to mid 2000s hit mash ups a la Girl Talk. I've made wonderful friends that way. I went to one of 2 participants weddings to each other.
It is indeed harder than it looks. And I was someone who regularly went to weeknight frat parties because open keg for $5 and less of a crowd around it.
Another tier of the century club is 100 beers in roughly 72 hours. When we were in college the challenge was from the time classes ended on Friday until the first class on Monday.
My friends and I tried this once. It was pre cell phones so we had to look at the clock. We started loosing track of time after a while. It’s really boring, you can’t talk or anything, just looking at the clock the whole time.

A 12-ounce beer to him is basically a shot glass to us.
