- loveforkarma, on 03/12/2009, -0/+16No Bukowski? Forget this list!
- YME1280, on 03/11/2009, -3/+16I'm surprised I wasn't on the list. But a good one nonetheless.
- sheeplescareme, on 03/11/2009, -0/+11i realize this is from askmen.com, but i think the ladies deserved more than an honourable mention!

#1 John Barrymore - radison2, on 03/11/2009, -9/+18Bill Brasky is not on the list. Buried.
"Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half—until sure enough, someone constructs a bar around us. Well, the day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'" - mreade, on 03/11/2009, -0/+8David Boon should be on this list. He set the record for number of beers drunk on a flight from Sydney to London, which still stands today.
- Topkill, on 03/12/2009, -1/+8Andre the Giant is number 1. This is a really great article that explains why that is.
http://www.drunkard.com/issues/10_06/10_06_andre_g ... - inactive, on 03/11/2009, -1/+8Keith Richards should be in there somewhere.
- EASwanson, on 03/11/2009, -0/+6What makes a drinker legendary? Amount consumed? BAC? Or just being a bad ass while taking a shot.
- sheeplescareme, on 03/11/2009, -1/+7seriously? it was a pretty funny snl skit.
- coolcrowe, on 03/12/2009, -0/+6That's exactly what I was thinking...
- speedk0re, on 03/11/2009, -0/+6my girlfriend weighs 100 lbs and I would bet $1000 she could drink you under the table.
- inactive, on 03/12/2009, -0/+6Two words ... Oliver Reed.
Proximo from Galdiator was his last role.
He died while filming from a heat attack, he was ... "61 years old and was reported to be heavily intoxicated at the time of his death. Racking up an $866 alcohol bill, Reed had reportedly drunk three bottles of Captain Morgan's rum, eight bottles of beer and numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whisky. He also beat five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm wrestling at a bar called "The Pub." " ( yea, stolen from Wikipedia ) - Lochie, on 03/12/2009, -0/+552 for the record.
- matty84, on 03/12/2009, -0/+5Bukowski's preferred poison: Boilermaker
- sheeplescareme, on 03/11/2009, -0/+5i have to agree with speedk0re. i go about one hundred pounds myself and have been known to toss them back.
- chussy, on 03/12/2009, -0/+5Nice, but where is Bob Hawke and Boris Yeltsin?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00 ... - noisymime, on 03/12/2009, -0/+5Whilst on the topic of Australian's, where's Bob Hawke? Surely there's never been any other heads of nation that can claim to hold a drinking world record?
- sockpuppets, on 03/12/2009, -0/+5How the ***** is Hunter S Thompson not on this list?
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids. ...
(Yeah it's a myspace vid, but I couldn't find it on youtube. Awesome clip with Hunter, Conan, alcohol and firearms.) - holmcross, on 03/12/2009, -0/+5Sometimes I find a little ray of sunshine on Digg when I see posts like this.
*goes back to reading Women* - Hetman, on 03/11/2009, -2/+7What about Keith Moon?
- drewhoo, on 03/12/2009, -0/+4Boonie!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Boon#Drinking - DirtPile, on 03/12/2009, -1/+5Bill Brasky is a cultural icon and my hero.
- mmittimm, on 03/12/2009, -0/+4Thanks, I'm so glad I didn't wade through askmen's crappy interface for that.
- perhapsimcrazy, on 03/12/2009, -1/+4Where the hell is Frank Sinatra?
- HIFIsamurai, on 03/11/2009, -3/+6I see that they cut me off ranking at #11.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 03/12/2009, -1/+4I normally get annoyed with "No ***********? Buried!"
but not having Humphrey Bogart on that list is beyond me. - Krick555, on 03/12/2009, -0/+3For the Love of GOD! W.C. Fields!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think Man!!!!!!!!
- zombiecarlin, on 03/12/2009, -0/+3Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole are both legendary in their drinking exploits but both would admit their buddy Oliver was in a different league. If drinking was an olympic sport (which it should be) Oliver Reed would have won every medal for fifty years and not just gold but brone and silver.
- GrooTheWanderer, on 03/12/2009, -0/+3Since they mentioned Churchill... former Australian prime minister Bob Hawke was at one point the world record holder for downing a yard glass of beer.
- xxx420xxx, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2Charles Bukowski imo
- FireandFlame, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2Andre the Giant should be number 1. He was drunk during his wrestlemania match, and actually fell asleep during it from the booze.
- v73pontiac, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2Andre the Giant has a posse
- borez, on 03/12/2009, -1/+3And hundreds of others.
- colinmcd, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2agreed. John Bonham too. Maybe even Jack Kerouac.
- robinthehood, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2No Wade Boggs?
http://tastybooze.com/2007/04/the-origin-of-boggs/ ... Who would you say drank the most beer out of everyone you ever played with?
Nelson: Easy, Wade Boggs…..easy
Sandy: (laughing) Really!? Wade Boggs?
Nelson: Oh, yeah, without a doubt. I’ve never seen anyone drink as much beer as he did in my life:
Sandy: (laughing) Get outta here, alright, give me an example, like how much did he drink?
Nelson: Oh, I’d say, on a typical road trip, east coast to west coast [Nelly played with Boggs on the Yankees], say a road game to Seattle……Wade would drink anywhere between 50 and 60 beers.
Sandy: NO WAY!! 50 or 60 beers. That is impossible.
Nelson: No, I know…I know how crazy that sounds, and I wouldn’t believe it myself unless I saw him do it…..numerous times. And he drank nothing but Miller Lite. - BloodWenis, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2No Stevie Ray Vaughn? The man pioneered energy drinks by dissolving cocaine in Crown Royal!
- atchon, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2My god....
- inactive, on 03/12/2009, -0/+2Agreed, loveforkarma.
I too, am a Factotum - ChelseaBlacker, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1What about women!?
Betty Ford

- BlackX4Life, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1Armenians are the best drinkers ever.
- mechfluff, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1Exactly what I was thinking. He's way more pimp than Dean Martin.
- redneckblues, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1This is a fictional drinking contest, pretty funny i thought.
http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/09_02 ... - Zipko, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1"I may be drunk Miss, but in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly."
- Casty, on 03/12/2009, -0/+1ho. ly. *****.
