Who even knew there was a magazine named "Modern Drunkard"?

Some great stories here...

On another occasion, Andre was touring the Kansas City territory and went out for drinks after a show with Bobby Heenan and several other wrestlers. When the bartender hollered last call, Andre, slightly annoyed, announced that he didn’t care to leave. Rather than risk an altercation with his hulking customer, the bartender told Andre he could stay only if he was drinking, imagining, surely, that he would soon be rid of the big fella. Andre thanked the man, and proceeded to order 40 vodka tonics. He sat there drinking them, one after another, finishing the last at just after five in the morning.

There is a story about Andre the Giant where he drank 142 beers in one sitting and then went out and had bottles of wine with dinner.

If I had an incurable disease, I might act wild as well.

When I worked as a bartender at O'Hare, he is among the many celebrities I served. He was very quiet, seemingly very shy.

Andre was pretty good in The Princess Bride as the gentle giant.
