How to drink beer faster.

[tomprice43]

I would like to know how to improve my beer drinking speed, my friend can do it more than four times quicker and i would like to know how to do it so quick.

To drink as quick as him you would have to be as dumb as him, your friend is on the road to alcoholism, trust me kiddo DONT join him. I speak from experience.

Also, girls tend to look at guys in bars, chugging their pints and they only think of two words... one is small.. the other is... well, think of a body part you wish was bigger!!!

Seriously, chugging pints makes you look like a loser.  And you'll end up being sick and looking like more of a loser.  If you wanna do speed drinking, knock back a pint of coke - it's fizzer so it's harder, and it's not gonna make you throw up like a 15 year old drinking spesh.

It would be fun to know how to down a pint quickly, just as a party trick, not to form into a habit.

Well to drink one pint at speed you just have to open up your throat.  I stand by what I said before though - people doing so look like losers.  Like bald 50 year old men in red porches.... you might be rich, but it's still clearly a pen1s replacement.

it's all about as you swallow you pour in the beer so that gravity pushes the liquid down your throat.

You have to push your head right back and then tip in the beer as you swallow. the more proficient you get, the steeper you can tip the glass to pour in the beer. also when you get very proficient, you twist the glass as you pour therby releasing more liquid.

also use beer, or if you're going to use lager make sure it's very flat as the bubbles make it much more difficult and more likely for it be revisited.

doesn't make for a sociable drink but it is quite a neat party trick if you can down a pint in a couple of seconds.

Interesting that anything drinking related brings out the Loser comments or alcoholic comments.
Drinking with mates can be fun and still be sensible. I am a professional man by trade but at weekends play rugby and often the lads end up playing drinking games. Non of us are alcoholics and non of us go over the top as we are althletes too. My wife knows whats inside my trousers so I am not out to impress anyone but I am always out to win and not have to pay for the round of drinks.

The flatter the beer the easier. also not too cold but not warm as if you can taste it you're too slow.
From a pint glass your first swallow needs to be a good one without catching an air bubble, it will slow you down and can hurt like hell if you push it all the way down with the weight of beer on top. A good full mouth and as you swallow tip the glass and get another good full mouthful and swallow now tip the glass and keep going.
I like to make sure that i have half a lungfull of air, breath all the way out, you might need air or breath in and take beer with it. Too full and you find you are restricting yourself.
I can do a pint in about 3 seconds which is not massively quick but normally quick enough to be not paying for the round and a bottle of Bud in about 1.5seconds

Caveat:
I don't chug all night long only one or two. It fills you quickly you get very gassy and thus belch (not particularly charming) and also you don't really register you've had another pint or two or however many and suddenly you'll find youself getting very drunk and stopping drinking won't help as it is already in you.
Drink sensibly have a laugh and try not to lose. however if you chunder maybe you are just not built for speed drinking. Not everyone is.
