[sumo] [off topic]what is Akebono up to these days?

[o s aka]

Weren't there some posts on this mailing list years ago about some of the 
rikishi and their drinking prowess?  I am sure none of them can match Andre 
the Giant, but I think I can recall Konishiki's name being mentioned in the 
same sentence with (something) over 100 beers at a single sitting.  I do not 
remember if it was Chiyotaikai or Kaio but it seems that one of them use to 
have quite a reputation as a drinker but he curtailed his drinking because 
his sumo was suffering.
