Extremely rare copy of TV viewer only intro clip-show montage preview from last week's WWE 250$ pay per view 4th of July special featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin drinking 250 beers to celebrate 250 years of America.
How many beers did Stone Cold drink in his career to prepare for this history making moment? There isn't an official count, so nobody knows the exact total. However, we can make a reasonable estimate.
Stone Cold Steve Austin would typically crack open 6–12 beers during a post-match celebration. He didn't actually drink all of each beer—a lot was sprayed into the air, spilled on himself, or splashed on the crowd. He'd often only get about half of the beer into his mouth, enough that he'd sometimes leave the ring with a buzz.
A few fun facts:
The most beers ever used in one of his in-ring celebrations was 115 beers during a "beer bash" in Japan with the Dudley Boyz and Stacy Keibler—but those were used, not consumed. Most were thrown or spilled rather than drunk.
With his famous entrance and post-match celebrations, he'd often open anywhere from 6 to 12 cans in a single segment.
A rough career estimate:
Austin wrestled regularly as "Stone Cold" from 1996–2003, appearing on hundreds of WWE TV shows and pay-per-views.
If you assume:
Roughly 250–400 beer-celebration segments over his career,
8–10 cans opened per celebration on average, then he likely opened somewhere around 2,000–4,000 beers as part of his wrestling act.
Since he only drank a fraction of each can, his actual alcohol consumption from those in-ring celebrations was probably closer to the equivalent of 1,000–2,000 full beers spread across his WWE career.
So the best estimate is:
🍺 Beers opened on camera: ~2,000–4,000
🍺 Equivalent full beers actually consumed in the ring: ~1,000–2,000
