Alongside his rebellious attitude, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is famous for smashing and chugging beers. Recently, though, rumors have suggested that the WWE Hall of Famer no longer drinks beer at all.
According to Austin himself, those rumors are untrue. In fact, his Friday nights are usually dedicated to beer drinking.
“I still drink beer, but it’s kind of like the old timers used to come up to you in the dressing room when you first started breaking into business. ‘Kid, you got to pick your spots, you don’t have to take all those bumps.’ So, yeah, these days you don’t need all those hangovers. You pick your spots,” Austin told Insight With Chris Van Vliet. “Friday night is kind of like I still eat, and watch what I eat pretty strictly. So Friday is usually my beer night when I’ll have a couple IPAs, and that’s when I pick my spot.”
When Was Steve Austin’s Biggest Beer Binge?
Looking back on his many nights of drinking beer in the wrestling ring, Austin pinpointed Japan as the site for his largest consumption.
“I’ve talked about this before, because the Dudleys were there, and Stacy Keibler was there. There’s a whole bunch of people that were in the ring. So I just started tossing out beers, but I think we went over 100. This isn’t an Andre story, but I believe there was 100 beers involved.
“Now, did they all get drank into completion? No, it was spilled everywhere and thrown here, there and wherever,” he continued. “But I think that was about the biggest one ever, over in Japan. I used to get Goldberg in the ring and toss him beers on a few occasions that we did that, because Bill don’t drink. He’ll drink a beer or two, but he doesn’t really drink. And so I’d keep force-feeding him beers, because if you’re in the ring with Stone Cold, you got to drink the beer. And I’d try to get him as hammered as I could before I left the ring. It’s kind of an ongoing rib between me and Bill. I still keep up with him pretty closely.”
Back in November, Austin celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his Broken Skull Beer brand, which was created in collaboration with the El Segundo Brewing Company (ESBC). For this occasion, ESBC and Austin released a limited edition 10th Anniversary IPA, filled with citrus, tropical fruit, and “West Coast bitterness.”
