Utah Follies: Ogden resident drinks case of beer a night, thinks “I’ll take out the trash tomorrow” for 8 years, 70k cans stack up in home, called a “hero” by husbands around the world
“…it was the sickest thing he’s ever seen. Just unimaginable that someone could live in that.”
Those crazy folks from Utah. If it’s not searching for naked women on the net then it’s drinking a case of beer a night and never tossing the empties away. Instead the Utah native stashed the beer cans anywhere he could find room in his Ogden, Utah townhouse. However after a few years, space became scarce. A few years later, it was unlivable. And then a few years later, the almost-always-drunk Utahn finally moved out leaving the 70,000 cans as a lasting reminder of his 3,000 day binge.
It appears that he drank Coors Light exclusively and didn’t venture out much other than to restock. In fact Kirk Martin, the local mail carrier didn’t even deliver mail to the townhouse, thinking it was vacant.
Ryan Froerer of Century 21 discovered the scene, snapped a few photos, emailed them to a few friends and which have since become an Internet sensation. Froerer acts as unofficial spokesperson for the still-unnamed hero to countless men around the world for both his drinking ability as well as his 8-year “I’ll take out the trash later” attitude. Froerer reports that the man has now stopped drinking and is back at his old job.
