 Games - Shotgunning
Shotgunning is a means of consuming a canned beverage, especially beer, very quickly by a particular technique involving punching a hole in the side of the can near the bottom.
To shotgun a beverage, one rubs for about 15 seconds a spot on the bottom of the can straight down from where one drinks out of a can.
Shotgunning works by creating a second hole in a can so that air can enter one hole (the can's original opening) while the beverage can be poured, in a rapid, uninterrupted stream, through the remaining hole (cut in the side of the can).
