Forums >Racing>New WR: Beer Mile
Feeling the growl again
You actually took the time to do this?
I race a beer mile every year, practice makes sense. I took time to practice the running part yesterday too.

Just a dude.
I watched the video again just to check out the chugging. Not sure where he could be cheating. He opens the cans, so they aren't like sitting there half empty or completely flat. He shoves the can right in his face, so I guess he could be sucking, but not sure how that would help. I do see that he somewhat crushes some of the cans, so he could be pushing a bit.
He does turn them upside down, but a couple are pretty close to his hair. Not sure.
Maybe he drilled a hole in the can and drained half out on the back side? That would be pretty lame.
I'm definately not a beer expert, but at least physically it looks pretty legit. Maybe he's actually a pretty short guy and those are only 8 ounce cans?

Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...
There are fast-pour cans on the market now. There is a built-in hole you open by rotating the tab and pushing it in after opening, the open hole lets air in.
Seems this might be in violation of the official Beer Mile rules:
6. No specialized cans or bottles may be used that give an advantage by allowing the beer to pour at a faster rate. ie "super mega mouth cans" or "wide mouth bottles" are prohibited. 7. Beer cans must not be tampered with in any manner, ie. no shotgunning or puncturing of the can except for opening the can by the tab at the top. The same applies with bottles - no straws or other aids are allowed in order to aid in the speed of pouring.

He was drinking regular Bud. I saw this...

But that is Bud Light. Plus, I do not recall seeing him push the tab back so much.
Not at it at all.

On at least one I was sure he didn't push it back at all.
What's also nice about that video was the slower guy in the outer lanes and not at all bothered by whatever else was going on with the beer on the track.
I could kill the posted rubiks cube mile record

Do you have a link?
Just going by the FAQ on the beermile site.
However, youtube shows a 5:37.53, which would pretty well trump my efforts anyway

not bad for mile 25
How many beers required for the rubiks challenge?

Damn! I think I would be hard pressed to go sub-9.
I'm a bit out of practice on the cube, and my fingers aren't quite as nimble as they were in the 80s. 5:37 though....that's quite the feat
Maybe combine it all. drink a beer, solve a cube, run a lap.
