They should have a beer unicycle contest.

How about beer olympics where every sport is done while drinking beer?

Olympic beer pong…

“If you can drink beer while doing it, it’s not a sport.” — attributed to Andrew McMahon

Actually, lifting the beer to chug it would count as a curl.

How about playing golf while chugging. “Been there, done that. Got the shirt”.

No the loudest “BURP!!!” contest!!! Errrrrruphuuuup!!!

Last November I attended a Marine Corps Birthday event. Nothing like seeing guys in their 50s having a beer chugging contest. (I may or may not have been a participant.)

Not all sports (games) are athletic (archery, shooting, curling etc), though physical fitness is a benefit. Some are tests of skill, some strength, some endurance. Most a combination of all. Of course, there are some who feel if there is no risk of death or serious injury, it is not sport. Chugging beer can kill you, does that make it a sport?

Throw in chowing down on hot dogs while doing so.

Replace the rock with skidding an open upright beer can. Use brooms to defend the can from one and all in the play area. Wait, I think this might already be a thing in student dorm hallways. I’m sure there are red Dixie cups involved somehow.

Been there, done that. Usually the curling first, the chugging later!

“I bet he drinks Curling Black Label”… You have to be ^ age to remember this…

Men With Brooms. Best curling movie ever.

They always seem to air the curling events during Sweeps.

BURP!! (In anticipation of Impkins.). :)

Next, they’ll make “perming” an Olympic event.

Drinking beer while curling used to be common. They even used to have ashtrays by the sides of the rinks.

Now there’s an idea that would get me excited about watching Curling.

Well they make hotdog eating an annual event, why not chugging beer. And when they give out a loud burp you can say “They really stuck the landing”.

As winter Olympic events go, (and I had to look it up, medal stripped but decision overturned) marijuana was considered performance enhancing for snowboarding.

Hey! You try chasing 40 lbs of granite down a slipper ice surface after your 3rd scotch and then tell me it’s not a challenging sport!

So like, an iced down bar top, while your friends have to get the beer to stop directly in front of you after being served by the bartender. And you have to drink the entire thing while it’s still in motion—all without leaving your barstool.

Canada would totally ice our butt and the beer would just make it uglier.

What the heck is curling anyway?!
