Is it possible to drink 100 beers in a day?

Charlie Day has recounted the story and has mentioned that while passing the time with Boggs on set (who was, of course, crushing beers whether the camera was on or off), Boggs gently let him know that the real record was 107 beers.



While urban legends (like those surrounding the late Andre the Giant) suggest it is possible, drinking 100 beers in a single 24-hour period is physically impossible for the vast majority of humans and is a life-threatening medical emergency. A standard beer contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol. Consuming 100 would equate to 1,400 grams of alcohol, which would raise the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) to levels far exceeding 0.50%, a range that is typically fatal due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Even if a person had an extreme tolerance, the sheer volume of liquid (approx. 35 liters or 9 gallons) would likely lead to "water intoxication" (hyponatremia), where the brain swells due to diluted sodium levels, or "gastric rupture" from the stomach's inability to process that much fluid. In 2026, health authorities emphasize that "extreme binge drinking" of this nature causes permanent liver damage and neurological impairment within a single session. It is a dangerous myth that should never be attempted.

The numbers have varied over the years—from 60-something to 100+—but the fact that he consumed a lot has never been in question. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's Charlie Day told Jimmy Fallon in January that Boggs confirmed to him that he downed 107.
