How to train for beerfest

[faultlessjoint]

I'm going to a friend of mine's beerfest sunday. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it but my plans just changed yesterday. If you've ever seen the movie, well it's like that. They have a large outdoor park space rented out, about 80 confirmed guests at this point.

The format: All participants are divided into 4 teams, and then team captains decide who participates in what events. In addition to the traditional events there is also a contest to see which team can consume the most beer throughout day.

My situation: I drink a ton. So I'm not worried about being able to drink bucket fulls of beer. My concern is chugging. I don't engage in very much competitive drinking since I left college and I've never been one to be able to chug a beer very quickly (without the aid of a beerbong or shotgunning).

In short, I have two nights to train for Saturday. How do I go about increasing my beer chugging speed? I just downed the first beer of the night. It took me 12 seconds. Drank half (the coldness and carbonation forced me to take a breath) and then downed the second half.

Too bad Saltman isn't here to give you tips on swallowing large amounts of liquid at one time.

Bottles are easier to chug than cans in my opinion. Just act as if the neck of the bottle is like the tube of a beerbong. Relax the throat and just gulp away. No homo.

Format for Saturday is going to be plastic cups. So i'm drinking out of Solos. And in case you aren't joking: What you said would never work because there would be no way for air to get into the bottle. You would have to leave the side of your mouth open.

I hate shotgunning. Ice cream headache is no fun.
