Man Drank Only Beer For 40 Days With Weird Results

One Ohio man decided to push himself to the limit by consuming only beer over a 40-day span. It wasn’t an orthodox decision, but he thought his love of brew would get him through it in one piece. Oh, how wrong he was. By the time his unusual diet was over, the man had noticed some disturbing and unexpected changes to his body that'll make you think twice the next time you reach for a cold one.

Beer For A Living

As the director of sales at Fifty West Brewing Company in Cincinnati, Hall practically drank beer for a living. He'd sampled hundreds of brews over the years, each time picking up a new story to go with them. But on March 6, 2019, he decided to take his love for beer to a whole new level.

Strange Tradition

With all his beer knowledge, there was one legend that Hall just couldn't seem to shake — especially when Lent came around. It was the story of the Bavarian monks of Germany, whose Lenten traditions were enough to make even the frattiest of frat boys nauseous.

All-Beer Diet

Back in the 17th century these monks would fast for the entirety of Lent, subsisting only a high-carb, high-nutrient beer called doppelbock. That's right: no breakfast, no lunch, no dinner. Only beer.

Putting It To The Test

Hall had always wondered how true to fact this story really was — after all, how could the human body survive for 40 days solely on beer? Well, after years of wondering, he finally decided to put this practice to the test.
