Upside-Down Keg Stands Rule!

If you have never performed the astute and highly popular partying drinking motion of being held upside down by your best friends as you pull a long suckle off the tap of a freshly opened keg of beer…then let me fill you in really quickly, shall I? Basically you will need a few things in order to pull off this act. You will require a fresh keg of ice cold beer, tapped and on ice with the tap attached. You will also need at least two other friends to hold you while you drink. And of course, you must have a rampant appetite for beer! How to do an Upside Down Keg Stand Position yourself in front of the keg stand. Brace your arms around the keg and do a pull-up as your friends grab your legs and hold you upside down. Take the tap and place the end of it in your mouth. Let the tap open and drink as much beer as you possibly can, and as fast as you can. That’s about all that there is to it! Where did this tradition come from? While the tradition of upside-down keg stands is purported to have emanated from college fraternities and sororities, nobody really knows for sure where this unduly form of intoxication and beverage ingestion monikers from traditionally. However, one thing is for sure: for some reason it tends to get you far more inebriated than just by drinking the keg beer from the classic, red plastic cup. In reality, drinking beer upside down, and directly from the tap of the keg does not really offer anything much more than a head rush (as the blood flows to your brain) and forces you to drink beer faster than you would, at the speed of the tap, it is most certainly a fun drinking game. Upside-Down Keg Stands are the Staple at 20-Something Birthday Bashes A birthday party (as shown in the video below, courtesy of a group of people partying for dude named Mike’s birthday party) demonstrates how fond a group of 20-something persons is of drinking beer upside down and directly from the tap of a fresh and ice cold keg. Notice the group interaction? See how much fun they are having and that the act is not merely limited to just men; the girls love doing it to? So who really cares where the tradition comes from, when clearly it is just plain fun!
