Keg stands, beer bongs -- young people don't know how to drink these days. They turn it into a circus act. It seems to have reached epidemic proportions now but it's been going on for awhile unfortunately. I remember a couple years back a girl at work kept talking about how when she was in a sorority they would routinely make "Jello shots". How stupid.
Funnels and tubes are fine for the brewing of beer but they have no place in the drinking of it. And gelatin should remain in your grandma's refrigerator where it belongs. Hell, even in my wildest days I never saw anyone do a keg stand. Had they tried they would have been thrown out of the party for excessive stupidity.
Its ridiculous. I am still seeing those "jello shots". Also something called a "boiler maker", where you float a shot glass of whisky in a mug of beer and then when you drink it, the whisky goes down first and then the beer. Why? The guy's friends seemed enthralled by it and ordered a round of them for themselves. I'm talking about a recent visit to a local bar with neighbors/friends. Then there are those Jaeger shots (I did these when younger). But connected with it is a drinking game which is actually printed on the placemats? I outgrew that sort of thing a couple of decades ago.
