What $46,000 in Beer Cans Looks Like

A single guy lived in this townhouse for 8 years in Ogden, Utah. The landlord thought he was the best tenant ever because he never called or complained and was never late on a payment!

Century 21 Realty had already moved some of the cans out, and they had caved in the tunnels that the renter had made to get to the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. All this, yet you still do not see any dust, scattered clothing, or dirty dishes anywhere?

Other than having a minor drinking problem, he was basically a very clean, organized person. Add to this, the fact that he was concerned about his health, proven by the fact that he drank ‘Light’ beer.

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.

There was an estimated 70,000 beer cans in the townhouse. To accumulate that amount of cans, the resident must have consumed an average of 24 beers a day for the 8 years of his tenancy! ($16 x 365 days x 8 years = $46,720)

Aluminum scrap value estimated around $2,000.
