Steve Austin once crushed 115 beers with Dudley Boyz, Stacy Keibler

Many have wondered whether it was real beer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was knocking back in the ring, or just the non-alcoholic stuff.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Austin sat down with former WWE timekeeper Mark Yeaton - the man responsible for tossing him all those beers - to set the record straight.

Here's what Austin had to say, as transcribed by Christopher Hooton of the Independent:

And a lot of people said "hey man, was that real beer?" And I say yes, it was always real beer... except for the one time. We were in Montreal, I think it was Sunday, something like that. Whatever it was, or maybe it was against the rules of the building, but it was NA beer, non-alcohol. And so all of a sudden those pictures start making the rounds and people are thinking "oh they're throwing this guy non-alcohol beer." ... that was one time.

I can't tell you how many times I left the ring and I had a little bit of a buzz because of all the beers I was drinking. When you're shotgunning anywhere from six to 12 beers, and maybe you get half of 'em in. On an empty stomach, after you've wrestled, it goes to your head pretty quick.

Austin also revealed that he once drank 115 beers with the Dudley Boyz and Stacy Keibler at a match in Japan.

"Were you in Japan the time we did the beer bash with the Dudleys and Stacy Keibler?" he asked Yeaton. " ... We went through 115 beers that night, and that was the most I ever went through."
