Keg stand

Keg stand

Keg stand is a drinking ritual using a beer keg. A keg stand can be performed in competition or simply for noncompetitive enjoyment. It is usually done in a college setting, though can occur anywhere. An American college student interviewed by "Time Magazine" defined a keg stand as, "two friends suspend you by your ankles over a keg, and you guzzle as much cheap beer as quickly as you can."

first=] Onlookers generally count out loud the number of seconds the person drinks for before having to stop, or may chant or sing. If in a competitive setting, an agreement is made beforehand about the pressure of beer coming out. The general pressure setting is for it to be like a "fire hose", or a high-pressure stream. A low pressure pour from the keg can yield highly distorted results of counting.

In some areas, such as Morgantown, West Virginia, the practice is banned at events like football tailgating.

Other forms of kegstands may be done, such as holding onto an object rather than being held aloft by people.
