He even invented a new way for anesthesiologists to determine amount of anesthetic to administer that's still used to this day: "The time arrived, and the anesthesiologist was frantic. He had never put a person of Andre’s size under the gas before and had no idea how much to use. Various experts were brought in but no solution presented itself until one of the doctors asked Andre if he was a drinker. Andre responded that, yes, he’d been known to tip a glass from time to time. The doctor then wanted to know how much Andre drank and how much it took to get him drunk. “Well,” rumbled the Giant, “It usually takes two liters of vodka just to make me feel warm inside.” " TWO FUCKING LITERS TO GET A BUZZ!?
