A little interesting math..

When the Broken Lizard guys unveil their training facilty, they specify that they have a keg that contains 1984 ounces. There are 5 members on the USA team. That means every person (assuming all members consume equal amounts although in actuallity Landfill would consume more than Fink) is responsible for consuming 396.8 ounces. This breaks down further to about 33.06 beers per person. So, when the line comes "About a 125 beers in there" this is incorrect.

You are making assumptions about how many ounces per beer.

1984 ounces divided by 125 beers makes about 16 ounces per beer -- nothing wrong with that. And 125 divided by 5 makes 25 of these 16-ounce beers per participant; nothing wrong with that either.

Exactly YarkoTheWArbler. They are drinking out of 16oz solo cups. Not 12oz cans/bottles.

Why are you even trying to bring this up in a comedy movie?

Have to say, it took them way to long to finish those beers then. I am not a world class drinker but I can drink about 30 beers during a 4/5 hour party. They took like half a day, kind of weak if you want the world record.
