And you thought you drank too much

Beer1 70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Utah Townhouse

A seemingly unbelievable mess discovered last year in an Ogden townhouse has suddenly become an Internet legend.  It’s all TRUE!

You know how some people, after they use something, just can’t bear to throw it away. That might make sense if it’s magazines or clothes. But what if it’s empty beer cans? In astounding numbers?

When property manager Ryan Froerer got a call from a realtor last year to check on a townhouse, he knew something was up.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “Said it was the sickest thing he’s ever seen. Just unimaginable that someone could live in that.”

He couldn’t even open the front door. It was blocked from inside.

… At the back door, Froerer was astounded by what he saw in the kitchen.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “As we approached the door, there were beer boxes, all the way up to the ceiling.”

Inside, he took just a few snapshots to document the scene. Beer cans by the tens of thousands. Mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Light beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there.

  1. I went through a period of time when Coors light was my beer of choice. BUT DAMN, it didn’t take even a tiny fraction of that amount to decide hey, there have to be better beers out there. And I hate to sound like a snob, but who wants to drink beer from a can?

  2. Deborah, $800:

    The cans were recycled for 800 dollars, an estimated 70,000 cans: 24 beers a day for 8 years.

    Hardly enough to make up for the smell of 70 000 stale Coor’s Light cans.

  3. I’d have to say Imports/Premium on draft, domestics in bottles. Cans are good for the pool or lake.

    Thanks Mu, I guess I could have clicked the link for more information lol

    I’m sure the smell was pretty bad
