Keg stand is a drinking ritual or game using a beer keg. It is often played in a college or fraternity setting. The object is for the player to drink as much as they can, for as long as they can, without stopping. If in a competitve setting, an agreement is made beforehand about the pressure of the beer coming out. The general pressure setting is for it to be like a "firehose", or a high-pressure stream. A low pressure pour from the keg can yield highly distorted results. Similar to most drinking games, players who are larger in size and/or girth have a distinct advantage in performing keg stands, as they have more space to retain the beverage.
Procedure
- The player puts both hands on the keg.
- Friends pick up the player by the legs and tip them upward, as if they were doing a handstand on the keg.
- The player wraps their lips around the tap, opens it, and drinks.
- The surrounding audience and awaiting participants chant the number of seconds that the person is drinking for.
- The player shakes their leg to signal to friends when they can't drink anymore and need to get down.
Inverted keg stand
A variation of the keg stand, is the inverted keg stand, which is the same thing but the participant's head and body faces up torwards the ceiling, instead of down. This tends to result in more of a blood rush to the head, and can increase the sensation of dizziness, yielding to a lower drinking time.
