Can you please clarify for me?

Does the term 'monolithic' make grammatical sense in this statement?

"On the weekend I consumed a monolithic amount of alcohol."

It's a reference to a pre-historic stone structure. I get the idea of it being a large amount of alcohol, but I'm not sure all monoliths are that large.
