#nottwitter 17 – The fascination with the Beer Mile

“And that’s all there is to a beer mile: Drink all your beer as quickly as possible within the chug zone, run fast in between, and hold onto your stomach for as long as you can.”

Is this a story about beer?
About running?
About enjoying beer?
About enjoying running?

This is not a Twitter poll (after all this is #nottwitter). I am just curious.

An uncomfortable blend of ‘story about novelty drinking game’, ‘inappropriate use of breathy, soft-focus GBH prose’, and ‘massive photo dump of awkward sweaty white dudes’.

Dunno, but this is the first story or mention I’ve heard of the beer mile in years — seemed to be a thing a few years ago, and then seemed to drop down in press awareness to a level below, say, competitive eating or butter sculpture for state fairs!

Hey Bill – I was/am actually wondering about why the fascination from the get go. The New York Times?
