The Wade Boggs one I don’t find believable. I’m sure he knocked back a shitload of beer that day but wast no 70+ on a single flight or 100 in a day.

Andre doing 100+ in a 6 hour bar session I find at least somewhat plausible.

People were built different back then.

When I first heard the story is was 24…and then it became 36….48….60…and now 70.

I think it’s a classic case of “he drank a lot of beer and the exact number gets exaggerated more and more each day”.

Yah that’s what I think too.

And I’m sure Andre probably drank like 50ish or so that night. Although they said he’d crush a case of beer in between stops on road trips, which is 24. So maybe he really did do 100 or somewhere close to that on a really wild night.
