In the Tweet, BaseballHistoryNut said, ?Wade Boggs has been known to crush several cases of beer in a single day, and claims his single day record is 107 beers.? No matter how much a person loves beer, that claim seems to be unreal.?
Fans have reacted to the claim and most believe that the claim is fake. They argue that it is physically and medically impossible to drink 107 beers. Furthermore, a number of fans brought up examples from their own lives to disprove Boggs? claims.?
107 beers is slightly more than 10 gallons, weighing more than 83 lbs.
Not possible.

Literally nobody believes this story. Having a history of drinking and many friends who basically lived at the bar, the most we can come up with in one instance by one person is 52 beers in a night and that was a near death experience.

I am friends with multiple professional drinkers. This is not possible

I like Wade and I like beer but I'm calling bull on 107 cans. That's 5 cans an hour for 24 hours. It's 80 pounds of beer. That's Andre the Giant stuff right there.

There is no way this is even remotely possible. Unless he is drinking 1 oz cans. Nope, I'll never believe it.

These claims are questionable, to say the least. But fans were probably more shocked when another Red Sox legend expressed a desire to make an MLB comeback. Coming back to Boggs, the Red Sox legend may not have drunk 107 beers but he achieved lots while playing baseball. In fact, he went on to win a title with the enemies of the Boston Red Sox.?
