Use the following math to determine how high your lifetime's stack of cans would reach (assume a shot = 1 beer; a glass of wine = 1 beer, etc.).

The Math:

1. Calculate NYD. Number Years you've been Drinking.
2. Calculate ABD (Average, Beers a Day) - remember, one hard night of partying can boost your average to three drinks a week)
3. ABD X 365 = YCA (Yearly Consumption Avg.)
4. YCA X NYD = TBC (Total Beers Consumed)

Now, a can of beer is roughly 8" tall. So, multiply TBC X 8 to get total inches of altitude. Divide by 12 to get total feet of altitude.

Now, how high are you stacked?

EarlJam = 16,060 feet.

That's 3.04 miles. After drinking that much beer, you'd never be able to stack them that high.

ChaCha says a 12 oz can is 4.75" tall.

So EJ, who told you that 4.75" = 8"??? :confused: :rolleyes: :eek:
