André the Giant wasn’t just a wrestling legend — he was a man whose sheer size defied biology itself. Standing at 7'4" and weighing over 500 lbs due to acromegaly, André reportedly drank alcohol on a scale almost no human could survive. The most famous claim comes from 1976, when he allegedly consumed 119 cans of beer in a single six-hour sitting at a Pennsylvania pub. That’s the equivalent of over 11 gallons of beer, enough to send an average person into fatal alcohol poisoning many times over.
