It takes a lot of calories to fuel U.S. Olympic gold medalist Ryan Crouser, but one benefit of such an intense diet is the ability to drink a lot of beers and still function the next day.

In an interview with Brandon Drenon of the New York Post, the 6-foot-7, nearly 300-pound Crouser said he can crush a 12-pack of beer without experiencing a hangover.

“It depends on the type of beer. If it's something easy like a Bud Light, I can take down a 12-pack and still have an effective workout the next morning," he said.

Crouser is only 23 years old, so age is working in his favor. It's still impressive, though.
