Andre the Giant could apparently drink a keg of beer in one sitting!
Acromegaly is a syndrome where the pituitary glands produce excess growth hormones. It can cause severe disfiguring and premature death. In the World Wrestling Foundation, Andre was once a World Champion. In 1993, he was the first inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame.
His billed height was seven feet five inches and his billed weight was 540 pounds. He was said to be able to drink a keg of beer in one sitting. He died in 1993 in his sleep of congestive heart failure in a Paris hotel room. He is survived by a daughter, Robin, who was born in 1979.
