Since beer is liquid bread.

Quite a while, especially if you also had a multi vitamin..

I wanna see the Martian envisioned where instead of sustaining on pieces of potato, he drinks beer.

I also want to see more pirate-themed rants, preferably drunk.

Arrrr Johansson be listening to her damnable ABBA again, I’ll make her walk the plank for all this Disco…

Twas, Lewis's disco that drove poor Watney to distraction.

Agreed. It's been common throughout history for people to live on only beer and water for a few weeks at a time.

I imagine you could survive at least a few months on doppelbock if you were in good health beforehand.
