    I have a buddy who works at a restaurant where the employees can drink as long as they pay the wholesale cost so about $3 a Heady. I need to find the video of us shotgunning Heady Toppers in the back kitchen.

    Sounds like a reasonable strategy! The prices of beer in sports stadiums are so outrageous. And of course the high prices you pay for beer at a stadium are usually for mediocre swill. Might as well get your buzz on with good stuff before you leave!

    I don't chug beer. Ever.

    Not since I chugged a barleywine at a beer festival in 2002 and wound up puking a few minutes later.

    Whenever I pour off some of my beer for my roommate to try I have to always remind him to actually check the nose and sip. He has an annoying habit of trying to chug anything. He's finally learned since I told him that if he chugs one more I won't give him a taste of anything that's good.

    To say it defeats a or the purpose is to condescendingly makeshift expectations that are without any merit , what-so-ever.

    Three obvious purposes exist. To keep, to drink, or to gift.

    I've shotgunned a bikini beer, which seemed like the best choice around at 2.7%.

    STOP THIS S**T !!!!

    There is no Craft Beer Police Force that is monitoring your activity & is going to arrest you. Do what you want with the beer, drink what you like and don't worry about what I or the jerk next to you is thinking...or drinking.....or doing with our beer. As long as you are not hurting someone you don't need permission. Too many posts on this site of this nature.

    STOP THIS S**T !!!

    So, yeah, I guess I do chug craft beer on occasion, now... :rolling_eyes: I downed almost an entire glass of Two Hearted last night because I was thirsty and it drinks so easily. In fact, I'm having difficult not chugging that stuff. That beer is poundable.

    Not sure I would call Johnnie Walker Blue "fine Scotch" when comparing it to the single malts from Macallan, Ardbeg or Yamazaki, but if you like slightly watered down, slightly sweeter blended Scotchs then go right ahead.

    If the scene calls for chugging. Let the chugging commence. If it calls for sniffing. Pinkies in the air, and a flashlight to admire it with. So be it.

    I will admit while not exactly "chugging," I did kill two SN Hoppy Lagers in like 3 minutes during the last 40 seconds of the football game last night.

    Making fun of those who do it is also the right and privilege of the rest of us, and folks who chug craft beer, and post videos of themselves doing it, as if they are doing something great and wonderful instead of unimpressive and juvenile, should laugh at themselves with the rest of us rather than getting all butt hurt from folks who call them what they are.

    I'm pretty sure those guys don't think they are doing something "great and wonderful" and are doing it as an amusing way to get some internet fame and piss off some beer snobs. It's all basically a joke. It's the people that think this is serious that seem most butthurt.

    That cuts both ways. Who cares if we have our own fun responding to it? Doesn't mean you/they have to read the replies, or respond to them.

    I personally can't resist responding when I see them because of how butt hurt chuggers get that someone thinks it looks stupid and juvenile to actually post videos of themselves doing it. I never say anything personal, I comment on the ridiculous nature of the act. I love it when I get, inevitably, childish, personal flame attacks in response from folks who act as if they can't believe people post opinions about things on the internet, and as if chugging is some worthy lifestyle with social relevance. Which responses, I admit freely, I love to incite with calm observations and good degree of wit. They are the funniest to read as they are usually drunk posts, not surprisingly. Chuggers who proudly post videos of themselves are the low hanging fruit of this game for me.

    Like others have written in this thread, I've never intentionally chugged a craft beer but shit happens sometimes. I once slammed back a DIPA that I had just poured to avoid missing a cab. I can't say I recommend doing so :wink:
