Poop Wade Boggs claims he drank 107 beers in a single day... - Page 2

Stewie · 01-15-2015, 03:28 PM

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!

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?

Century Club is only 100 ounces in 100 minutes

But LA to Boston is 3 hours. Weird.

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

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 · 01-15-2015, 03:58 PM

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.

He drank more than that according to reports.

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.

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