A patient seen in our hospital this week has drunk about that many beers in his adult life, based on his reporting having had 6-8 beers a day for the last 40 years.
That works out to over 1.2 million ounces*. Far from a record, of course, but still impressive.
He has probably belched out enough CO2 to be responsible for a good-sized chunk of global warming just by himself.
Maybe not so far from a record. I mean, if you’re drinking more than 6-8 per day, you’re probably going to have health problems so severe that you crap out long before 40 years, no?
