Andre responded to a last call by ordering 40 drinks

This one's the most mythical of all, but it allegedly happened near Kansas City. “The bartender told Andre he could stay only if he was drinking, imagining, surely, that he would soon be rid of the big fella. Andre thanked the man, and proceeded to order 40 vodka tonics. He sat there drinking them, one after another, finishing the last at just after five in the morning.”
