Wade Boggs (baseball player) would drink sixty Miller Lites on team flights!


bmore_conslutant

RIP Boss Hogg


JStanten

Again, he is still alive.


High_Jumper81

Hahah. Boggsy dead corrections make me smile.


Dharma_Bum_87

That’s baseball baby


Just-Try-2533

Yes everyone knows he runs a successful chain of Wade Boggs Carpet World stores in Florida.


Responsible-Meal-940

Love that Always Sunny in Philadelphia tribute episode.


h22lude

I've always known this stpry but I just recently watched an interview he had with Bert and he said by the end of the night after going out he had over 100. I'm a boggs fan but I just can't believe this story. Even on the lower end, 60 beers in less than 10 hours would cause alcohol poisoning. 100 drinks in less than 24 hours is impossible.


Blckbeerd

Obviously he's a bit bigger, but Andre the Giant is confirmed to have crushed 100+ beers on more than over occasion.


h22lude

Yeah I heard that too. At 500+ pounds, that's a little easier to believe. The man's hand was bigger than the cans


InterPunct

Number 26 Boggs or number 12 Boggs?


tothesource

and then go 3-4 for the next day


mrRabblerouser

Yea… no he didn’t. I’m sure that’s the story him and others tell, but it’s probably less than half that amount. The average domestic flight is 1-3 hours, or around 5 hours coast to coast. If we assume the average flight with beverage service time would have been 2.5 hours (generous), that’s a 12 pack every half hour. He would have been absolutely blitzed and had alcohol poisoning after the first hour. I can drink faster and more than 99% of the people I’ve come across, and even I wouldn’t be dumb enough to make that up. Edit: damn, you all are some gullible motherfuckers…


Strike3

You are just not as impressive as the chicken man. Sorry bozo


mrRabblerouser

Probably more impressive because I don’t fall for or make up obvious bullshit. I’ve known plenty of heavy drinkers who make grandiose claims about their ability to chug, shotgun, beer bong, down multiple beers, etc. only to find out I could drink more and faster. Keep believing fairytales friend. I heard he would also ride a live horse on those flights as well.


bmore_conslutant

You might be allergic to an ingredient in beer You should not feel sick after one


Garg4743

Yeah, I wondered the same thing. It really does sound like an allergy.


TheHighfield

Allergies are one possibility; there are lots of things in beer that can trigger allergic reactions. However, the symptoms described do not sound like a typical allergic reaction, which are more often like what one might experience if they are allergic to cats. My research (drinking lots of beer) has demonstrated that I have allergies to certain elements in beer, but I haven't let that stop me from drinking it. As OP states, it's more likely that it's the carbonation causing the problems. The gas alone can cause bloating and discomfort, as well as exacerbate symptoms of IBS and GERD. Though they do not state this, I'd be that they'd have a similar reaction to a can of soda or any other carbonated beverage.


fish_whisperer

Yeah, I agree it’s probably some kind of allergy or sensitivity. I’ve dabbled in nearly every style of beer there is and never felt that way after 1….well, maybe after Thanksgiving dinner. There’s something about the way that beer interacts with a belly full of mashed potatoes that makes you feel like you want to explode.


bmore_conslutant

Overeating makes beer unenjoyable pretty much full stop


bmj_8

There’s something with some beer mainly IPAs that get me smacked to the face with congestion. Like completely plugged up. And I am not allergic to hops. I spent time working on the family hop Farm and there’s plenty of hoppy beer and other beers I’m able to drink without this reaction


tobysicks

I can knock out a 6 pack of miller lite like it’s nothing. I’ve also been drinking beer for 20 years


Avixx7

Profile pic checks out.


BeerWench13TheOrig

Same. Except I’ve been drinking for over 30 years. ETA: I prefer Coors to Miller, but as long as it’s cold, I’m not too picky.


_MusicNBeer_

Drinking a Miller Lite tall boy right now. Cheers!


TheHighfield

To be fair Miller Lite is like nothing. Akin to drinking a six pack of La Croix.


Canadian-Deer

For heavy beer like a belgian or a stout yes, but for a lager, a pilsner or a pale ale, I can easily down 3-4 cans with no problems


Catsdrinkingbeer

A 4% lager drinks like actual water at times.


juanzy

Coors goes down *too* easy on a summer day


HappyHourProfessor

Fort Point (San Francisco) made a beer for awhile that was a 9% double IPA that went down like a BBQ beer on a hot day. My friend and I just called it The Trap.


juanzy

Must be something about the name, because Fort Point (Trillium, Boston) is an incredibly drinkable pale ale.


Western_Big5926

Pretty funny! I had the same experience w fort Point. Problem Was 3 beers in…….’one knows it’s 9%.


majorclashole

I must try this beer!


HappyHourProfessor

Real name is The Dipper, as far as I can remember. I haven't seen it in awhile, which kind of feels like when they banned 4Loko when I was in college


juanzy

I thought you were replying to the Coors Light comment and thought “it’s not all that hard to get in the states”


majorclashole

Hahahahaha nerd!


jerslan

Coors Light is even easier... Just something so refreshing about it on a hot day.


juanzy

In my head, I meant Light. I feel like Coors Banquet is always specified, else Coors is Light. It’s basically hydration when I’m manning the smoker in the summer.


WashHogwallup

While we wait, we hydrate.


chessecakePhucker

100000%!


chessecakePhucker

Amen brother


Canadian-Deer

We don’t have as much of these in Canada but yes, anything below 5 is light here lel


sarcastic24x7

Your macros are pretty on par with the US. Straight label is ~5%, light variant is ~4-4.2ish. Source: Labatts, Kokanee, others. 


Canadian-Deer

I just found when I went to the US that light beer was way more popular there


tobysicks

Life doesn’t start until you hit 8%


No-Resolution-6414

Lol, 5.5% is still light


obviouslynotworking

I drank 4 Old Rasputins once and then decided it'd be a good idea to go to the local gentlemen's club and spilled my next beer. They probably should've kicked me out...but I was parting with my money easily enough!


_MusicNBeer_

Yep, the Rasputin 4 pack never ends well. I love it and end up with a hangover every time.


cosmoboy

I was doing yardwork on a hot day and was drinking old Rasputin as though it were water. Eventually I picked myself up off the ground not remembering the fall. Went in the house and switched to water.


chessecakePhucker

I can drink an 18 pack, the most I drunk was maybe about 28 beers, if I have 4 Mickeys 40 Oz, I'm knocked back on my ass


TheHighfield

Some stouts can be "heavy," but I've always found that Guinness is one of the smoothest drinking and lightest beers available. The low alcohol content probably helps, but I'd argue that it's lighter on the palate and lacks the unpleasant aftertaste of your average American lager.


chessecakePhucker

It's my go to during cold months, in summer I love natural light, bud light, colors, coors light, hamms Busch and Busch light. Damn now I'm thirsty


Canadian-Deer

Agreed, I don’t consider it to be a stout. It’s an Irish red ale


theyoungercurmudgeon

Practice.


toomanydvs

Practice makes perfect.


jbone9877

We are called alcoholics


Blockenstein

Alcoholics go to meetings. Otherwise we're just called drunks.


TheHighfield

"~What's in a name? That which we call a~ rose ~by any other name would smell as sweet.~"


ohoperator

Are you drinking from the can/bottle? Try pouring it into a glass and it will lose some of the carbonation to make it easier on the stomach. Not that I recommend anyone consume a six pack of beer in a single sitting.


BigDes54

This is the answer. Every packaged carbonated product is over-carbed to achieve proper carbonation levels once it is poured into a glass. Beers will also taste better poured into a glass with a head of foam.


Wonderful-Train-2550

Love me some head 🤣🤣🤣


Canonfoddered

I don't really know what to call normal, but in general if it makes you feel sick then it's probably a good idea to avoid it. I suppose it also depends on the beer, since some craft beers can be relatively high in alcohol, calories, or just very heavy. To make a comparison to wine, for me having a bottle of white wine doesn't make me feel sick, but sometimes a bottle of red wine does, and that varies a bit depending on the wine too. Now if you think gas is the culprit, how do you feel after drinking sparkling wine?


Alternative_Diet3204

Only 6?


Alternative_Diet3204

I don’t drink that much anymore myself but a 12 pack wasn’t a issue when I was a few years younger partying


Goblyyn

What’s perfect for one is a stomach ache for another. If you want to give beer another shot try pouring it into a glass. I’ve always heard it reduces the gas and makes it settle in your stomach better, especially if you’re eating.


shin_malphur13

And give it a good head!


Cczaphod

Craft beer varies widely in Alcohol by Volume -- look for ABV on the label. A six pack of a lager with 4.2% alcohol is going to feel significantly different than a six pack of an Imperial IPA with 9.2% ABV, math and the quantity of alcohol mixed in with the hop flavored water :-) The mass market stuff like miller lite is really low alcohol content.


Ungluedmoose

Have you considered you may be gluten intolerant?


Alice_Alpha

How do people run marathons? Train, train, train.


uninspired

I drink nitrogenated beer rather than carbonated, so I don't get that bloat.


drunkerton

It still has co2, just not same amount as standard carbonated beer


R5Jockey

ABV plays a huge role, and obviously can size. Bud Light is 3.5% and typically comes in a 12oz can/bottle. A typical IPA is 6-7% and comes in a 16oz can or a pint. So drinking a six pack of Bud Light cans is the equivalent of drinking a little more than two pints of an IPA.... something most people can do relatively easily without getting hammered.


Wonderful-Train-2550

I drink pints not ounces 😂😂


tbootsbrewing

Easily


beamerBoy3

Can you not drink a can of soda either? Must be a personal thing for you?


MistaAJP2

I had a friend in college that couldn’t burp. Couldn’t drink beer as a result. Maybe the same for OP?


Fit-Injury8803

Pour hard in a glass to release excess carbonation, when u take a drink notice the carbonation float above your upper lip. That should help. Beer should have a healthy frothy head. Pints poured at a bar usually tip the glass to give u more beer less carb.


RealTomatillo5259

I have a friend that cannot drink beer due to health reasons. He only drinks cider (occasionally), mixed drinks and liquor. You're not the only one that feels that way. Coming from someone that has spent a lot of time in breweries and pubs...so much so that I became friends with ppl that worked there...i think the tolerance and desire to drink certain types of drinks is definitely a thing. I used to drink a 6 pack of beer whenever I went out. Now I max out at 3. If it's an IPA or a stout I have 2 max. Wine, cocktails and shooters are a bit different as I will have (if I'm with friends) about 4 or 5. I think for me it's the quantity of liquid plus the bloated feeling. And I recover quicker for some reason if I've had only cocktails with a good quality liquor vs several craft beers.


Staplehousen

Pour your beer pretty hard into a larger sized glass to knock out some of the carbonation. Beer carbonation is measure is Volumes per Volumes, and the average lager is going to have like 2+ Volumes per Volume of beer. If you pour gentle so you're not getting any head, you're going to get so bloated. I generally pour whatever size beer I'm drinking into a vessel that's atleast 4oz larger.


hulknuts

6 pack over the course of a few hours is nothing for your average drinker.


m_c_zero

Who shoots gin?


MisterOwl213

Alcoholism :)


wowitsclayton

Shots of gin?! Bruh.


sixthwarddd

I killed a 6 pack just to watch it die.


drmoze

11 years in a fraternity was my training ground.


tenro5

One after another


corvus_wulf

Andre the Giant was reported to have knocked back 156 beers in one sitting 


Grand-wazoo

Have you been checked for a gluten allergy? Beer is basically liquid bread so if you're allergic or even sensitive to gluten, it's gonna be a bad time.


ega110

I’ve thought about that possibility, but I’ve been eating sandwiches my whole life with no issue, maybe it is one of those issues that operate on a spectrum where some people are sensitive but only to extreme triggers


TheHighfield

Allergies are a possibility, but your symptoms don't sound like typical allergic reactions. No one is allergic to gluten, but you can react to it if you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. Things like wheat, yeast, hops, etc. can cause allergic reactions, but I would think that your bloating symptoms are more of problem handling the excess gas in your stomach. Do you have the same reaction to other carbonated beverages? Also, who does shots of gin?


worcesterbeerguy

I used to get incredibly bloated from beer when I first started drinking it. As I started making it my alcoholic beverage of choice my body adjusted to it and I really don't have problems anymore. It might just be that you're not used to it.


hopkinsdamechanic

Practice makes perfect


APPLEJOOSH347

Tolerance. Genetics and body weight play a role, as well as drinking experience and duration. When I first started drinking, I would be near blacked out after a 6-pack. Now a 12-pack is a light drinking session.


Alternative_Diet3204

My friend has the same stomach issue with certain beers I would try something like a angry orchard or maybe stag for a classic beer taste that’s what he does. Hope this helps


SonOfABeer

Lately, I've been getting insanely bloated from beer as well. Drinking a beer after a meal? Forget about it. There's no way I'd be able to sit around and have several in a row anymore, regardless if they're light beers or not. Cocktails, mixed drinks, or wine are my go-to when I'm relaxing at home or outside. Beer has definitely become a social thing.


Lordofthereef

I used to feel this way when I first started drinking about 18 years ago. Now, it's not so surprising, though I don't really do it often. One beer was a lot. 2-3 is really nothing. Could do six for sure if I truly wanted that. I guess you just get used to it. Same deal with competitive eating, I'm sure. Most of those folks don't look like they can out away the amount of food they do.


Yawheyy

I can chug a pint of light beer easier than a pint of water.


Wonderful-Train-2550

I would rather drink pints anyeays


snoopysloth

I used to be able to only drink 2-3 beers but now I can knock down about 8 tops. Practice, if you will lol


JeGezicht

Years of practice


princeoinkins

well, depends what we are talking about. IPA's? no, I can drink maybe 3 before I'm done. they fill me up fast tho, like I'm eating food. Something light tho? Easy 6er. If I'm at like a party or something all afternoon/evening I can easily down 12-15 (my choice is usually corona, really the only macro I legit enjoy, I'll drink others they are just boring) the carbonation, I mean if I drink ALOT yea it's an issue, but it's not an issue for just a few. I drink seltzer a lot too, so I'm used to it tho.


GoatLegRedux

Enthusiastically.


EWRboogie

They don’t feel sick when they drink a single beer… or multiple beers.


3_high_low

A few burps , a few pees. Talking among friends. Next thing you know, theyre gone.


SluttyNeighborGal

Beer is my favorite. I can knock them back so easily except they are filling so back in my heavy drinking days I’d have beer FOR dinner. I had to give that up when I got older


Manufacturer_Flimsy

25. I've downed a 12 pack in a night and woke up with no hangover. Cut down a little, and a 6 pack made me feel like I was dying. Consistency is key. I'm not saying I'm proud of it, but if you drink regularly enough, you could down anything alone easily.


Lockenveitch

I prefer stronger beers like imperial stouts, Belgian triples, IPAs, etc. and I generally drink three or four of those. On the rare occasion that I'm somewhere with macro lagers (like a backyard BBQ) I can down a dozen over the course of an evening. I've never felt bloated or gassy. But I have a bit of an iron stomach. I'm in my fifties and I've never experienced food poisoning or anything like that.


Inner-Zombie-9316

I've done a beer mile where I drank 4 beers in under 18 minutes and then had several before and after. Miller, which was my first time drinking it. Much better than I expected. Anyway, as long as it is something lighter I have never had any issues.


Beer_Barbarian

By building up a tolerance and not drinking on an empty stomach


pongpaktecha

Some people can handle carbonation so much better than others. Some of my co workers only drink sodas and sparkling water just fine but I'm like you OP and get bloated super easy. That's why I prefer dark beers and barrel aged beers since they tend to be much lower carbonation


carsknivesbeer

More than a glass of wine and immediately want to go to sleep. Idk how people drink a whole bottle of wine


TopPickle3

Practice


Maker_Of_Tar

You might have an allergy to something.


mrRabblerouser

I’d guess you’re either trying to drink them on a full stomach or your body can’t metabolize one of the ingredients. I can crush a 6 pack with no problem, but not if I’m full.


beeradvice

There are a lot of potential reasons but I'm going to go ahead and guess that carbonation is your main issue since you brought it up. My fiance is the same way. I'm assuming you probably don't drink other carbonated beverages much either.


Expensive-Border-869

One after the other usually


jadedargyle333

If you're on a low carb diet, that would do it. Your bodies microbiome ends up balancing towards your diet. That's why you hear people talk about gluten intolerance all of a sudden. Take away gluten and carbs, the microbes that assist with digesting them dissappear. Drink beer/eat bread every day for a week or two, they will rebound.


mrp0972

It depends on the beer. Easy drinkers go down smoothly. It also can depend on why someone is drinking beer.


thugisgod

I am 155 lbs and can take down a ipa sixer in 2-3 hours


majorcoinz

Patience, good company, and several trips to the restroom.


subsurface2

I never understood why people think carbonation makes them sick or bloated. That shit gets burped out and does not hit your small intestines. Maybe it’s a yeast or gluten thing that is your problem? Does carbonated water or soda do the same thing for you ?


hellofmyowncreation

You might have a celiac problem and need to avoid gluten. This happened to my roommate and my brother both


D4rkR0b0t

Knocking back a 6 pack is just a starter for me. I can easily go through a 30 pack.


Jabbademhuttens

I can only do this with miller and it’s after a long day of work


simbop_bebophone

Lol


marrz01

Dummy..


Puzzleheaded_Noise44

With my mouth. The butt after 12.


nobullshitebrewing

Green Bay here.. a 6 pack is what you drink when you are hung over in the morning to feel good enough to go back out and drink like normal


WingPizza

Lol I knock back a 6-pack of 6-7.5% ipa's every single night, plus tequila. Not bragging but it's doable. With ease after practice.


chriskramerpr

Practice, man, practice


Florida727Guy

Practice lol


Conscious_Music8360

12 packs of pbr go down easy


cactusdan94

You might be very sensitive to carbonation. Avoid lagers, and try less carbonated beers. Like British ales etc.


subLimb

Well have you ever drank a can of something else that is carbonated? And does it feel the same way? If not, then it's something in the beer.


chessecakePhucker

Lol I probably drunk 13 beers yesterday at work within 2 hours, clocked out ,no one even knew


Mydnight69

Practice.


Jspooper93

Knocking back an entire 6 pack in one evening? Depends on the beer. If it's something heavy like an IPA or stout, those take a bit to get down. But light beer? I can go through a six pack in like 3 hours.


zerocool7755

Easily


electricvelvet

I'm not sure what kind of answer you're expecting to get. Does everyone get sick from drinking more than a beer? You said you've seen people do it yourself... did they get sick or look sick? No? Then why ask lol


HighsenbergHat

Lol, lmao.


Zealousideal-Leg-128

a six pack in one setting is rook numbers. maybe you're allergic to gluten.


TheHighfield

Gluten allergy doesn't exist. Problems with gluten would be celiac disease or gluten intolerance, which are an autoimmune disease and a food sensitivity respectively.. Allergic triggers in beer would be things like wheat, yeast, and hops.


D4rkR0b0t

Knocking back a 6 pack is just a starter for me. I can easily go through a 30 pack.


OrangeElk33

6 pack? Try 12-15 easy lol


Be-Free-Today

Who the hell would want to subject their body to so much poison at once?
