Wade Boggs claims he drank 107 beers in a single day...

[Stewie]

With over over 3,000 hits and a career batting average of .328, Wade Boggs was one of the greatest pure hitters in baseball history. Not as well-known is the crown Boggs holds as the game's greatest pure beer drinker. Legend has it that the Hall of Fame third baseman once drank 64 beers on a cross-country flight from Boston to Los Angeles.

Boggs only denies that the number was 64. He doesn't say if the real number was more or less, only that it was "a few Miller Lites." It may seem unbelievable to us mortals that one man could drink so many beers on a single cross-country flight, but a little digging will turn up plenty of information to support the legend. On a radio show interview, former relief pitcher Jeff Nelson said that Boggs absolutely would drink "50 or 60" beers on a cross-country flight, explaining that the tally would begin in the locker room before carrying over to the drive to the airport, the tarmac, layovers, and any other chance he got as the team was making their way from coast to coast. "It wasn't just an isolated incident," Nelson concluded. "He did it almost every time."

Last night, the topic came up again when Charlie Day stopped by The Tonight Show to discuss the new season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In one episode, the gang tries to recreate Boggs's feat, and Boggs himself makes a cameo as part of a hallucination Charlie has when he's 30 beers deep. Day also claims that the stories about Boggs's drinking prowess are true, and that Boggs even told him that the actual number of beers he drank, the number he so smugly refused to divulge to Kornheiser, was 107.

Boggs went down on hookers, so who knows? Ha!

[LoneWolf]

Bullshit.

[Lonewolf Ed]

That many brews could have knocked Andre the Giant's dick in the dirt!

[ptlyon]

I can do that in half the time /eSurance

[Dayze]

bullshit.

[gblowfish]

If you consider that each beer was 12 ounces, which is a standard can or bottle of beer, that is over 10 gallons of beer, as there's 128 ounces in one gallon. That's a shit load of beer. Most American Kegs are 15.5 gallons. so he would have consumed about 2/3rds of a keg in one day. Also, assuming it was a light beer, light beer has about 100 calories in a 12 ounce serving. So that would be 10,700 calories in one day just for the beer and if he ate anything, those calories would be additional. About 1500 to 1800 calories are normal for a non-dieting average guy in a day. So, I think I'd have to say I've very skeptical about this claim.

[KC native]

The "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" episode with this last night was fucking hilarious.

[Demonpenz]

Wade Boggs only hit a foul ball to the right side once in his career.

[Katipan]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Just how far off do we think his claim is? We all know someone that can put away a case of beer. I'm sure more than a handful of us know someone that can put away 2. 3 or 4 can't be that far off.

[Dayze]

so what is a cross country flight?..4 hours? 5?
that's something like a beer every 3 minutes. LMAO


Riiiiiight.

They started the ticker in the locker room.

[Amnorix]

I remember a radio interview once -- years ago. The hosts were discussing this, and someone had mentioned the whole beer thing, and the legend of how many beers he drank on a cross-country flight.

So they called some baseball player that one of the hosts knew who had been a teammate of Boggs's once. One of the hosts of this show was an acquiatance of his and it genuinely sounded like this ex-teammate didn't expect this call. They didn't even explain WHY they were calling, they just said -- "hey, so, Wade Boggs -- you were his teammate right? How many beers would you say he drank when he flew cross-country"

And the ex-teammate was like "oh, damn, yeah, he could put them down. Like maybe a hundred? Seriously, I've never seen anyone else drink like he could drink."

FWIW

:shrug:

[Katipan]

No he ate a lot of chicken.

Boston to LA is six hours.

[Dayze]

for some reason i'm reminded of a thread I 'think' i saw on here years ago....wasn't there someone who posted pictures of their progress through some sort of drinking challenge. like 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes or something? Was it ENDelt?

[Katipan]

Century Club is only 100 ounces in 100 minutes

[ptlyon]

Boston to LA is six hours.

But LA to Boston is 3 hours. Weird.

[jd1020]

I think the issue here is that after the 6th beer he lost count.

[KC native]

No he ate a lot of chicken.

LMAO

I'm here to protect the integrity of this competition.

[Dayze]

probably fooled everyone by drinking O'Douls

Here they're talking about it on the Tonight Show:
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/wade-boggs-once-drank-107-beers-in-a-day--maybe-172141703.html;_ylt=A86.JyUBNbhU3AUAMXUPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByb3B2a242BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMwRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dG lkAw--

[Red Beans]

My first thought was, "Well of course he did."

Also, I think this may be possible. In my early 20s I weighed a strapping 140lbs and once put away 34 beers in one day. That day lasted from 10:00am until approximately 2:00am the following morning.

I think if we're talking about 24 hours Boggs would have averaged 4 and a half beers per hour. I just can't imagine a human keeping that kind of pace. I want to believe this so bad. So goddamn bad...

[KC native]

I doubt the 100 beers number but I could see the 60-70.

My best friend can put beer away fast. I've seen him kill 12 packs in under an hour without trying. With the amphetamines that Boggs was probably using back then, I could see him doing it.

[Valiant]

That many brews could have knocked Andre the Giant's dick in the dirt!

He drank more than that according to reports.

[gblowfish]

They said the 107 count included the ride to the airport, the flight, the layover, the hotel afterwards, then bar hopping before going to bed. So, let's say he started drinking at 8AM Boston Time, and drank till 3AM California Time the next day. Plus gained 3 hours in time zone changes. So let call that 22 hours of time including the time zone changes. He would have had to consumed five beers an hour, every hour, for 22 straight hours to do that. And that time frame would also include time to piss. In fact, he'd probably have to be drinking while pissing to keep up that pace.

[Rain Man]

Boston to LA is six hours.

It could be longer if you have to stop and get more beer partway through.

Century Club is only 100 ounces in 100 minutes

150 ounces if we want to get technical.


I did the century club twice in one day with drinking in between, once at 11am start of KSU-Nebraska football game, and later starting at 8pm. Best drinking day of my career.


Ungodly drunk.

Yes indeed. Factor that into the equation and he could have done it. No food, constant stream of uppers...it's possible.

I can't imagine the hangover he went through if he drank that much while doing uppers.

If we're being technical you'll have to drag the drunk that invented the game here because the internet varies as much as shot glasses do.

I don't understand why you would drink anywhere near that number if you weren't doing uppers. I always felt great the next day.

You are right Kat.


We kept track of beers when a group of us did it. Some people went through 14, others went through 11-12.


One of my friends (small guy with a large vag) even mixed grape juice with his shots. Wimp.

[Stewie]

This is crazy. These are 16 oz. beers... I assume from a tap.

André once drank 156, 16-US-fluid-ounce (470 ml) beers in one sitting. In her autobiography, The Fabulous Moolah writes that André drank 127 beers in a Reading, Pennsylvania, hotel bar and later passed out in the lobby. The staff could not move him and had to leave him there until the giant awoke from his slumber.

[Deberg_1990]

Wade Boggs. The greatest 'singles' hitter of all times!!

[rico]

The dude would have to be drinking while he was pissing to put down all that beer in only a few hours.

[DMAC]

You can see any up and coming rock star drink that at any Guitar Center.

[rico]

In college, I used to regularly (whenever requested by someone who wanted to witness it) put down 6 beers in one beer bong...which I would finish in what would seem like a few seconds. In retrospect, I feel stupid as hell about doing that.

[rocknrolla]

[KCUnited]

There was no count as it was out of multiple kegs, but I've seen a guy tripping on multiple squares of LSD put down probably a 100 or so beers. I could see it happening over 24 hr amphetamine bender as well.

[Rain Man]

Why can you drink more beer with amphetamines? I don't see the connection.

[Brock]

Sounds like bullshit, to put it mildly.

[jLoy88]

There was a contest in college called the dirty thirty chug, you would basically do 3 beer bong pulls of 8-10 beers a piece (yes some kids actually did it.) Most people would attempt, fail or succeed on the first one and then be entirely to sick to attempt a second. However, one kid who I think was named Mike or Matt or something, anyways, kid had an iron stomach. He did the dirty thirty in 3 consecutive bongs, then later that night did a fourth. By most counts he had about ~50+ beers that night from 5:30 pm to 2:00 am, by 3:00 am he was passed out, ended up vomiting a gallon of beer out into the bathroom floor, and damn near drowned in it in the process. 106 doesn't seem possible to me after witnessing this. Mike.. or Matt.. was about 6'2, 250+ lbs and had been a daily drunk since he was in High School.

[Katipan]

Why can you drink more beer with amphetamines? I don't see the connection.

You can do both indefinitely until you die.

I started doing coke because I was getting too drunk at work.

And above ALL else I'm a problem solver.

[The Bunk]

Wade Boggs is the new Chuck Norris.

[rico]

Beer = downer

Amphetamines = much bigger upper

Amphetamines win, you stay awake.

Not to mention, the amphetamines tend to make some people feel manic/hyper and as if they constantly have to be doing something with their hands...some people will smoke, some will drink, some will do both. The amphetamines will cause a person to drink at a more rapid pace once they've begun.

That's using good logic. When I was in my 20s I would often do speed if I was too drunk to drive. I made it home, or somewhere else. Next problem, I couldn't sleep at 7am. Solution...three or four bong rips and a Xan bar. Problem no more...
Those cycles often resulted in me finding myself in some very odd places.

Most of it is like dirty adderal, unless it's pure. Most of the time you could really feel the dirtiness to it. It's a bit hard to explain, but you'd really be sweating the shit out, especially after 10 or so beers...
Not much of a fan of any uppers anymore.

The last time I drank light beer I drank a case and had a headache when I was done. I laid off the booze after that. That 100 oz beer challenge endelt posted years ago, I have no doubt I could get through that sober. This may be possible. I'm not nearly the biggest drunk I know...

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Lol, it's all I drink.


And if I'm trying to get good and drunk I plan on three fifths.

Exactly. I'm about a fifth and a half guy. This guy drinks more than me. Me and Sauto could pound the shit out of the 100oz challenge. I know 107 is like 10 times as much as that but it's also 8 times as long over a cross country trip. This is more possible than people think.

My buddy back in the day was close to 310 and about 6' 3". I've seen him pack down a case and a of Coors Light and hang a guy by one foot from the emergency escape stairs in Mandalay Bay Hotel who wouldn't stop taking pictures with his cell phone during a bachelor party. He was on a couple other substances at the time as well (coke) that helped him.

This guy was a total animal as in if you didn't know him you didn't talk or make eye contact. He made it another 12 pack and passed out.

Wade Boggs doesn't look like he ever broke 200lb. Hard to believe.

We would have made quite the self destructive pair.

[Katipan]

If Hamas can believe 64 with his intellect, then my whimsy can easily raise that to 107. Whats another 30+ pack?

[kccrow]

Some of the worse alcoholics I know don't ever drink more than a case and a half a day even when they have a reason to try. 64 beers, yeah I can see that. 107? Fuck no. The guys blood alcohol level would be beyond death.....

If you go here: http://bloodalcoholcalculator.org/#LinkURL

Input Boggs playing weight of 190 pounds. 107 light beers. 22 hrs. Estimated blood alcohol is 1.229. You are very likely to die at 0.50 or higher. Yeah, no way in hell.

Now, it estimates 0.585 if you put in those same values but change the number of beers to 64. This is more reasonable. Yeah, he's very likely near death but at least its reasonable.

The Notre Dame estimator found here: http://oade.nd.edu/educate-yourself-alcohol/blood-alcohol-concentration/bac-calculator/

makes it even more unlikely. Enter male, 190 pounds, 22 hours, 1284 ounces (107*12) and 4.40% (Miller Lite) and estimates a blood alcohol content of 1.997.

Point is, Boggs would be dead.

It was more likely that it was amphetamine fueled.

yep, back in my younger years, folks would drink for days, but they were also snorting lines the whole fuckign time.

Maybe he ate first.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Some of it depends on the level of alcohol dehydrogenase in your system. The reason why Native Americans are notoriously worse drunks is because they have a much lower level of that enzyme in their system.

If Boggs has an unusually high level of it and he drinks a lot on top of that, drinking 64 beers in eight hours is achievable.

What is the most King Cobra's you'd demolished back while playing KC Hands.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Here's a comparison:

If Sauto drinks three fifths, that is 3*750 (mL)*40% alcohol by volume, which comes out to 860 mL of alcohol

If Boggs drank 64 beers at 12 ounces per beer at 3.5% alcohol by volume and 29.5 mL/oz. then he would consume about 793 mL of alchol.

Pretty hilarious they made an episode about this. The legend of Bogg used to come up as a drunk conversation with some of my friends a long while back from that old sports talk segment.

[MOhillbilly]

I seen my dad put down a slab or TWO that was meant to get him through to Monday in a single day of drinkin.
My old man would get up at five chug coffee and at ten he'd crack his first one and drink til ten or eleven in the evening.

He'd have to get a sixer of 3.2 on Sunday from the drive through at Tinys BBQ.

Fuckin crazy.

There was no count as it was out of multiple kegs, but I've seen a guy tripping on multiple squares of LSD put down probably a 100 or so beers. I could see it happening over 24 hr amphetamine bender as well.

Although we never kept track in my college days we'd drop acid around 9p.m. at night and proceed to slam beers all night into the next day.I always told people I never felt the effects of the beer but damn did it go down fast.

Yep, I'd pound beers on LSD simply to help me fall asleep later on.

In the particular instance I was describing, this guy was a heavy user of everything. He came to a party, showed the squares on his tongue, challenged a group of younger guys to a drinking contest. He was probably 10 solo cups in when we left KC for a GWAR show (talking mid 90's) in Lawrence. We went to the show, partied afterward, crashed back at my place in KC, drove back over to where the party was the next day and ol boy was laying in a fold out lawn chair in the kitchen drinking with his eyes closed and murmuring/spittling nonsense. People were throwing around the 100 beers number, so I didn't actually witness the entire thing. Dude may have died, I'm not sure.

yep...get up, drink a couple cups of coffee. then a couple warm beers before cracking open the cold ones.
get down to 8 or 9 left and you start thinking about getting some more.

TRUE STORY:

The Sunday night of the supposed 7th game of the World Series in 1986 between the Mets and Red Sox, 4 friends and I rented a limo to go to the game and scalp tickets. Halfway up to Shea Stadium, the game was rained out. Not wanting to waste a night, we went to NY anyway. We wanted to go to a nightclub but Sundays are tough; the Palladium was Gay Night, Studio 54 was closed, and the Red Parrot was throwing a private party. The limo driver recommended the nightclub "Heartbreak" so we went.

Inside we met, sat down with and spoke with a very young Tom Cruise, who one of my friends knew his cousin and were friends. Also in attendance that night was Cher who was dating Tom on the DL and she left shortly after we arrived.

Next I went to the bar to get drinks and who the hell is standing there in an ugly red velour shirt but Wade Boggs! He was out drinking shortly after the 7th game was called. Also with him was Marty Barrett and Spike Owens. Nobody was even talking to them. We began chatting with Spike who was really cool and we bought him a beer, he wanted Rolling Rock.

As the night wore on, a hot blond girl in her early twenties kept dancing with me and one of my buddies. I kept telling her about the celebrities and Wade Boggs. She had no idea who he was. At one point I introduced her to Wade and you can probably guess what happened: At the end of the night as my buddies and I were headed to the limo to go home, Wade Boggs and the girl I introduced him to are getting into a cab together! My friend was pissed knowing we probably could have scored with her. :banghead:

That was the one and only time I met Mr Wade Boggs, drunken whoremaster that he is! :thumb:

TRUE STORY:

The Sunday night of the supposed 7th game of the World Series in 1986 between the Mets and Red Sox, 4 friends and I rented a limo to go to the game and scalp tickets. Halfway up to Shea Stadium, the game was rained out. Not wanting to waste a night, we went to NY anyway. We wanted to go to a nightclub but Sundays are tough; the Palladium was Gay Night, Studio 54 was closed, and the Red Parrot was throwing a private party. The limo driver recommended the nightclub "Heartbreak" so we went.

Good luck topping that story: hanging out with Tom Cruise in the year he played Maverick and prime Boggs.

[fan4ever]

Have a friend who claims, in an evening, he drank 15 of those flask size bottles of Jack Daniels (pints?). Everyone I've relayed the story to has said the same thing..."He'd be dead".
There's no shortage of bullsh*t drinking stories.

I think the most I ever drank in an 8 or 10 period was 15 beers. These days, I'm lucky if I could drink six beers in six hours. I just can't drink beer in my old age without feeling bloated.

That's my thing too. The stuff fills me up like a balloon.

[MOhillbilly]

That may be the definition of alcoholic.

No doubt.
In the land that time forgot suckin down 40 beers was more macho than goin to the VA and askin for help.

[MOhillbilly]

yep...get up, drink a couple cups of coffee. then a couple warm beers before cracking open the cold ones.
get down to 8 or 9 left and you start thinking about getting some more.

hard habit to break, unless you want to live I guess.

If you go hard you can expect to die hard.

Occasionally you hear stories about people on X drinking so much water they kill themselves. This amount of liquid seems like it would be getting awfully close to that.

[Valiant]

Some of the worse alcoholics I know don't ever drink more than a case and a half a day even when they have a reason to try. 64 beers, yeah I can see that. 107? **** no. The guys blood alcohol level would be beyond death.....

If you go here: http://bloodalcoholcalculator.org/#LinkURL

Input Boggs playing weight of 190 pounds. 107 light beers. 22 hrs. Estimated blood alcohol is 1.229. You are very likely to die at 0.50 or higher. Yeah, no way in hell.

Now, it estimates 0.585 if you put in those same values but change the number of beers to 64. This is more reasonable. Yeah, he's very likely near death but at least its reasonable.

The Notre Dame estimator found here: http://oade.nd.edu/educate-yourself-alcohol/blood-alcohol-concentration/bac-calculator/

makes it even more unlikely. Enter male, 190 pounds, 22 hours, 1284 ounces (107*12) and 4.40% (Miller Lite) and estimates a blood alcohol content of 1.997.

Point is, Boggs would be dead.

Other than alcohol does not go into the person system the same way for everyone. Some people have genes for it. Friends Russian uncle would hammer 2 to 3 bottles of vodka by himself during a party. Never even buzzed him..

[SAUTO]

There is no way you can tell me people don't build up a tolerance.


I knew a guy who dram ONLY beer, he ran a bar be que in kc for years. He would get up between 330 and 4 every morning and crack a beer. Head to work drink all day go to bed around 8 pm. Drinking all day long.

The doctor told him he HAD to start drinking water, so he started drinking one glass as soon as he woke up and then drinking beer until sleep.


I rode 5miles with him nice and he drank a sixer

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Occasionally you hear stories about people on X drinking so much water they kill themselves. This amount of liquid seems like it would be getting awfully close to that.

Yeah, but that would be due to hyponatremia. Beer has sodium in it, so you aren't going to throw your brain chemistry out of whack.

[ChiliConCarnage]

This just in: Wade Boggs drank 26 beers, passed out, woke up and couldn't remember what was going on.. was sure he drank 100+ beers

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Wade Boggs was close friends with Curt Henning, "Mr. Perfect". One day they were hunting and Boggs caught his leg on a barbed wire fence and ripped it open badly. Henning carried Boggs for a mile back to their truck and then took him to the hospital.

Saved his life.

[NewChief]

Yeah, but that would be due to hyponatremia. Beer has sodium in it, so you aren't going to throw your brain chemistry out of whack.

Ahh. I thought since beer was predominantly water that it would be possible from it as well.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Ahh. I thought since beer was predominantly water that it would be possible from it as well.

There's a small chance, but I don't think it's too likely.

An average beer has 14 mg of sodium. Multiply that by 64 and you end up with 896, about half your daily allotment of sodium. However, you have diluted that with about six gallons of 95% water.

You'd be on your way to water intoxication (ignoring the obvious alcohol effects), but you'd probably be alright.

[MahiMike]

I couldn't drink 100 waters. I'd be in the bathroom the whole time.

[ChiefRocka]

"After that day...Boggs never walked again"

[ThaVirus]

This story is bullshit.

[DaneMcCloud]

This story is bullshit.

Especially since he didn't swim nine miles while evading sharks in the Atlantic Ocean.

Century Club is only 100 ounces in 100 minutes

[Deberg_1990]

He's continuing to claim this.


Fast-forward to last Saturday, when TMZ caught up with Boggs before the Yankees' annual Old Timers' Day game. Boggs confirmed that as he did during his playing days, he'd be eating chicken before suiting up with his fellow Yankee legends. He also confirmed that yes, he did drink over 100 beers in a day. The real question, though, is how did he do it?

"I've got a hollow leg. It goes down there and I just take it off and dump it," Boggs said.

We wouldn't have expected anything less. A true legend never reveals his secrets.

I don't understand...why BEER? If you want to get drunk, use some liquor. Beer is good up to a point, but I don't get why someone would just stuff themselves with a low potency delivery method.

[Rausch]

Even if the alcohol didn't make you toss just the sheer volume of liquids in your stomach would.

Just like eating too much and getting sick. It works the same way with liquids...

[beach tribe]

Has it been mentioned that Charlie broke that record.
