True, one is chugging beer and not liquor (which would kill you by respiratory depression if the amount was as much as, say, a quart), but even so, the alcohol shock is likely to burn off the inner layer of your stomach and cause you to barf for hours. Not to mention having a stomach bulging with beer. Definitely more fun to watch than to do. I suppose everybody's got to find some way to impress whoever it is they have to impress.
