Glenn Howerton Drank Like He Was Trying to Beat Boggs During A Wild Night Out Last Weekend
Dennis Reynolds may have famously failed to down 70 beers during Season 10’s “The Gang Beats Boggs,” but that hasn’t stopped It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Glenn Howerton from taking on a new drinking challenge: going nearly drink-for-drink with his on-screen persona during a wild night out in New York City.
Howerton headed to Instagram last weekend with a glimpse of what appears to be the aftermath of his Stout NYC guest bartending stint, an evening complete with Big Apple staples like a late-night deli run, scaling scaffolding, and of course, a whole lot of booze.

“Just ripping 15 pull-ups at 1 AM on some scaffolding with random people outside of a bodega after about 20 shots of @fourwallsthebetterbrown,” Howerton captioned the clip of himself turning the city’s construction apparatus into his personal gym, likely after serving drinks in promotion of his whiskey brand.
Concluding his Story with an “I <3 New York” — and an obligatory tag of Four Walls American Whiskey, which Howerton owns alongside It’s Always Sunny co-creators, Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day — Howerton’s roughly 20-shot run may be more than just an impressive personal record. If true, Howerton would be approximately one drink shy of Dennis’ beer total while attempting to beat baseball Hall-of-Famer Wade Boggs’ infamous inflight binge-drinking mark.
Philadelphia’s resident Golden God was the first out during The Gang’s mile-high drinking contest. Tallying 21 beers before making an early stop in North Dakota, Dennis threw in his beer-soaked towel during the layover after having mistook his California-based cargo hold hookup for “Great Plains trash” instead of “desert trash.”
“I’d rather stay in this barren wasteland of a state than spend one more minute with that filth,” he slurred before his formal resignation, a “21” Sharpied on his forehead.
While the exact number of drinks under Howerton’s belt will remain between him, God, and the former Boston Red Sox third baseman, we’re impressed he can still hang a decade later — and this time, without a regrettable hookup.
