1. HAHAHHA!! Those pictures are PRICELESS!!
And I'll bet that many cans is worth more than the HOUSE!

He even blocked the teevee! And it's 3 feet deep in the kitchen!

Wonder if he slept on them, too.

5. But note that there's still some
stacked neatly on the bookcase.

Musta been nostalgia. "My very first case in my new abode...*sniff*"

11. Maybe he had a lot of guests. Maybe he had 12 people over ...
every day, so everyone was only drinking two beers a day. :crazy:

12. About 100 calories per light beer
Means that if he was consuming an average of a case of beer a day he would be getting 2400 calories from it. That dude either didn't eat anything for 8 years or he's real big.

9. From the article:
The townhouse was cleaned up last year and it's just fine today.

The man who lived there seems to be back on his feet. We spoke to him today and he says he's completely stopped drinking. He was welcomed back to his old job a few months ago, and his co-workers speak highly of him.


There is WAY more to this story...

16. That's disgusting, I mean Coors Light is just gross
If you're going to live in a sea of beer cans at least make it something worthwhile, m'kay?

17. I often wonder what happened to some of my old housemates...
Did they move to Utah?

Nah, none of them drank Coors Light.
