Chris Janson‘s song “Me & a Beer” is climbing the charts, and it turns out he has quite a story about himself and an evening out where he put down 13 Coronas in one sitting.
Janson stopped by Taste of Country Nights to chat it up with his buddy Evan Paul, and when they got to talking about “Me & a Beer,” Paul asked what’s the most amount of beer he has drank in one evening.
The “Fix a Drink” singer lit up and was ready to tell an epic story from when he and his wife first started dating.
He leaned in and said,
“I drank 13 Coronas, in bottles — that’s a lot — in front of Kelly, and I was stacking them like a pyramid.”
Janson goes on, “She was sitting there, she had her boobs all puffed out, and I was like, ‘She’s so hot,’ and obviously it was vibing. But anyway, she was like, ‘Are you okay to…do you have a problem?'”
The “Buy Me a Boat” singer said it was all in good humor, and that after those 13 Coronas, he decided at the table that night that he wanted to be serious and exclusive with his now wife.
He had the courage to let her know, thus launching their now 18-year-long relationship that has given them two children; Georgia, 14, and Jesse, who is 11.
The Jansons are now a family operation, with Kelly serving as Chris’ manager, and they get to spend most all of their days together. They both make sure that they put their family first, bringing the kids along whenever possible.
