The wire service report says that Irabu drank 20 mugs of beer before leaving.
And apparently, Irabu had another credit card.
20 mugs of beer? If those mugs were Imperial pints and held 20 ounces each, that would be 400 fluid ounces of beer, which is over three gallons of beer.
Even if the mugs held 12 ounces, that would be 240 fluid onces. Which is about a pint short of two gallons.
3 Assuming he's around 260 lbs now (240 during his last season in the big leagues), and he drank those 20 beers over a period of about 3 hours, his BAC would register at .250.
If it were pints, as suggested by Bob, then his BAC would be .342, which is above the usual limit for inducing unconsciousness.
20 beers is an awful lot. I'm sure drinking laws in Japan are different than here, but I just wonder about any bar serving that much to one person, even if he's 260 lbs.
I've been to Japan a few times and although I don't drink, I can attest that the bartenders will keep serving you until either you're unconscious or out of money.
Banzai!
