ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Is it possible to drink 33 beers in an evening?

Apparently so, if you’re 48-year-old Michael Monahan.

According to an arrest affidavit, that’s what Monahan told St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputies he did after accusations he used foul language and tried to fight outside Body Talk Sports Bar on South U.S. 1.

Deputies about 11:40 p.m. July 8 went to the adult entertainment establishment after a report of a man passed out in the parking lot.

Investigators found a woman rubbing the back of an apparently unconscious man later identified as Monahan.

The woman, identified as Monahan’s fiancée, said, “Be calm please don’t fight them.”

Instead, Monahan hopped up, saying, “Oh you want to (expletive) fight, let’s go then.”

Deputies told Monahan they were there to help, but his alleged pugilistic behavior continued; he put his fists up, saying, “Let’s go (expletive).”

Investigators took Monahan into custody.

His fiancée said he ran around the parking lot and got aggressive before passing out.

Monahan, of Vero Beach, was taken to a hospital and said he’d quaffed 33 beers through the night.

Assuming they were 12-ounce cans, that would be3 gallons of suds.

Monahan was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence.
