Why do people "shotgun beers"? I don't understand why that way of getting the alcohol out of the can is preferred in any scenario. Not only can you get beer all over yourself and the floor but even more important you actually waste beer since it's in your clothes and on your floor now. I don't understand. "Beer bongs"? Yeah that's alright. It's not really my thing but you don't loose any alcohol and there's no mess if you finish it all. "Keg stands"? Sure, not my thing either, but it's pretty clean and it almost never spills any alcohol. But "shotgunning"?(It's called "keying a beer" in the eastern U.S. and "springing a beer" in western Canada.) Well, however you say it, it does not make any sense. Never have I been, nor can I ever imagine being, impressed with someone shotgunning a beer. Yeah, I don't think that conversation would ever take place. So why do people do it? how the hell should I know. If I had to guess I'd say it's a combination of alcoholism (not a disease, Reese!), desire for social interaction, a need for attention and acceptance (which they won't get from me), depression, anger issues, anti-automysophobia, or maybe they're just douchebags.

"Hey, that guy just chugged a beer!"
"Yeah, but that other guy just shotgunned a beer!"
"Oh, you're right! That other guy is way better. He drank less beer while getting a bunch of it on his shirt and on the floor! He's way cooler."
"Yep, I'm impressed."

But for some reason, I still love them.
