Running a Beer Mile is Horrible, Torturous Fun

The beer mile (four laps around a track, chug one beer before each lap, take a penalty lap for vomiting) is the kind of thing that sounds fun until you actually have to do it. More specifically, the part where you’ve just barely gotten down the second beer and are full of foam and have to go back and run so you can chug another beer. Awful.

But I had a really good time anyway. I’d do it again given the proper stunt motivation.
