Keg Stand

Another person holds the tap in their mouth until they give the signal to stop, and everyone else counts. The object of this activity is to chug beer from the keg upside down for as long as possible.

Shotgun
A way of drinking from a can where you simply hold your can of beer/cider horizontally, poke a hole in the lower side opposite the actual can opening, put said hole to your mouth, turn the can so it’s vertical, open it and let the magic of physics and atmospheric pressure force the drink into your mouth without any unnecessary glugging.
Strawpedo
