I know who will win, but am anxious to hear some stories. I know my buddy had a few with the King at the Column. I saw Eddie and Roy at College St Club.
Best Iowa drunkard of the 80s?

In the far, far past, in a former life, I once bought Clay Hargrave a beer at a strip club.
Randy Lewis would have to be up there if all sports qualify.
Pretty sure his gold medal trumps all though

Yes and no. Yes I was thinking of him but he played at Iowa in the 90s. My bad.
Can't remember. I was drunk that decade. 70s too.
Drunkard or chain smoker? I guess they're not exclusive.....
He was a regular at the poker table in the back of the old tip top saloon in Cedar Rapids….. fairly high stakes….. this was about 10 years ago 😎
spilling a drink is alcohol abuse
I'd say this thread went downhill but it's more of a flatline...
He held his own….. not that high of stakes…. don’t make me regret bringing it up 😂 pretty sure he can still kick my assDamn. Did he put the medal up as collateral?
in that time frame I would put JR Koch over Chris...but that's just my memories.
Chris was more public about it. As in peeing in a planter in a lobby drunk...
Bought some drinks for and had a time with Podolak and Zabel, once. I’d say it was unforgettable, but I was smashed. A great time and 2 great Hawkeyes. Thanks for the non-memories!
Can with throw in Harry Caray for the hell of it. God he was hilarious to listen to.
The inquest on 27 October 1980 showed that in 24 hours, Bonham had consumed around 40 shots (1–1.4 litres) of 40% ABV vodka. RIP JHB... one of, if not, the greatest and my favorite
The trumpet player in the NW corner of Kinnick deserves mention.
Honestly, that’s not even that impressive for 24 hours.
I have some stories, circa 1990ish with Ed that cannot be shared here. Thank god there was no YouTube.
